Iron Water Park

There are well-maintained paths, several benches for resting, and sometimes it resembles a forest park. Dogs can be walked, there are enough lawns for outdoor recreation and even places for bonfires and dirt paths. There are two springs with mineral water saturated with iron (hence the name of the park). If you love nature, you can watch birds and take photos. It's a beautiful and wonderful place, the park is renovated and lighted, and there are luxury houses nearby. You can run, ride a bike, walk with your children, and do whatever you want. At night, 2 alleys are illuminated. The park was overgrown, but now they have begun to clean it up. There is a lot of greenery, and in winter you can go sledding and luge.

Since 1984 it has been a monument of landscape art of local importance. It is located between Stus, Myshuga, Ternopil, Kobalchycha, Mushak, and Yaroslavenko streets. Not far from the park, the Poltva River has its source. You can see marl outcrops on the territory. Back in the 1830s, a German theater (1810-1824) by Franz Kratter was located on the lower terrace, where there were many springs. One of the springs, located near Yaroslavenko Street, was equipped with a pump room with a staircase, the place became popular and gradually turned into a forest park, and the city authorities decided to arrange a park here. The area changed hands several times. The pond (which allowed residents to take baths) was maintained and cleaned frequently by its former owner, but since the pond became the property of the commune, it has not been cleaned once (the water is overgrown with algae, the bottom is viscous and silted). For a while, the park was named after the first president of Poland, Gabriel Narutowicz, who was assassinated in 1923. The park was laid out by the famous Lviv gardener Arnold Roehring in 1824-1905, who tried to preserve the natural landscape of the forest. On the upper terrace of the Iron Water Park, they wanted to create a health-improving "Jordan Park" in the name of the Krakow physician Henryk Jordan. However, in the early 1980s, a jogging track was paved over on the eastern wing, and several wooden and metal sports structures and a bench were installed, which was arranged by boxing coach Myron Mucha. The remains of a small fountain with sculptural forms in the form of frogs have been preserved near the border of Myshuhy Street. One of the springs near Ternopilska street was turned into a manual water pump.

In 1933-1934, thanks to a subsidy from the Labor Fund and funds from the Lviv community, a city swimming pool was built on the site of the Kaminski pond, at a cost of 201,000 zlotys. A kindergarten was built on the territory of the park, which took over part of the park during the development. In 1980, the park's economic management was located there, previously there was a stable. in 1990, periodic water flows on the alley from Mushak Street, formed after heavy rains that significantly destroyed the alley, in those days the authorities were corrupt and did not deal with the arrangement of the park, one of the residents volunteered to fill the sinkholes from year to year using materials from the park (clay, stones, dead wood, fallen trees).
