Bodnarivka Park

Bodnarivka is a small public park (5.1–5.8 hectares, depending on the source) in Lviv's Frankivskyi district at the corner of Stryiska and Naukova streets, entered through arches from Naukova and maintained by the city enterprise “Zelenyi Lviv”. It was laid out in 1967 as the “50th Anniversary of October” park. In 1975 a retired An-10 aircraft housing the children's cinema “Litak” was placed at its centre; it partly burned down in the late 1980s and was dismantled in the early 1990s, and in 1991 a temporary wooden church took its place — now the Orthodox Church of Saints Boris and Gleb (1998–2005). The park has an ornamental pond where water lilies bloom every summer (cleaning began in 2021), an alpine rockery, an oak with a 1993 memorial sign and perennial flower beds. Lighting was restored in 2010–2011 (46 lamp posts), and in 2024 a children's eco-playground opened with a double swing, a seesaw, a sandpit and a stainless-steel slide.
