With its long grassy stretches and tree-shadowed paths, the park is a pleasant get-away from the thick of the city, even though it's located very near to the heart of Saratov. It is complete with picnic benches, barbeque grills, and even some pigeon soiled statues, which tend to invite large numbers of both residents and tourists alike. There is, however, still plenty of space for a dog to wander without being forced into the company of humans.
