At the border between two districts of Chisinau – Ciocana and Riscani, there is a park, founded in 1970, formed on the basis of a natural forest massif. In Soviet times the park was named after Boris Glavan. The total area of the park is 32 hectares. The park is divided into two parts by the intersecting Aleco Russo Street. On both sides of the park there are lakes, which are second in size to the one in the Valley of the Mills. The park is located along Dimo Street in Riscani and Sadoveanu Street in Ciocana. It is the favourite resting place of the inhabitants of two districts of Chisinau and one of the most visited parks of the capital. The park is also interesting because the upper part of the park, at Ciocana, is mostly covered with leafy trees, while the lower part, towards Rîșcani, is mostly dominated by pine forest, planted when the park was founded. The park is very picturesque at any time of the year, especially in spring and late autumn. From the higher ground there is an excellent view of the city. Much neater is the part of the park to the right of A. L. Russo Street, if you look towards Ciocana. Here there are resting places, an amphitheatre and a children’s playground, a boat station and a sandy beach. The lakes on both sides of the park are heavily polluted and bathing is forbidden because they have not been cleaned for a long time. But even here you can meet fishermen. In the cold winters there are makeshift skating rinks on the lakes, and children can go sledging on the park’s steep paths.
