Besides the historical and memorial value, the
research of the park has also scientific significance.
In particular, its territory preserved the landscape
planning, which creates picturesque views. The age
of many trees, especially Quercus and Pinus, is more
than 150 years. Our preliminary counts show that
57 species of arboreal-shrubby plants, including 34
species of trees, 22 shrubs, and one shrubby liana,
grow in the park. Most of them are local aboriginal
species (Table).
The quantitative analysis of plant species
composition showed that the group of decorative and
fruit species comparatively recently introduced into
the park’s dendroflora was represented by 23 species
and accounted for 40% of all species. Thus, the base
of the park is formed by aboriginal plants, which are
more typical for a forest landscape, than for a park
one. Therefore, while working out the reconstruction

project, it is recommended to introduce a greater
percentage of decoratively valuable arboreal-shrub
species.
On the most park’s territory, trees are in good
sanitary condition. However, some plants, especially
Populus nigra and Salix babylonica growing on the
pond banks are nearing their age limit and losing their
biological hardiness. Such trees should be closely
monitored, timely eliminated, and replaced. More
thorough examination of vegetation will be conducted
during the functional zoning of park’s territory.
The territory of investigated park comprises a
complicated set of areas with arboreal-shrub planting
in different degrees of preservation and complex of
grounds of sporting, recreational, and cultural value
as well as an unfinished building of sporting complex.
In current condition, without functional zoning of
park’s territory its re-planning, finishing the sporting
complex construction, and equipping children’s
playgrounds are forbidden by the Law as the park’s
territory is protected.
To optimize the usage of the territory of parkmonument
