Lower Park

The Central City Park of Culture and Rest is often just referred to as the Lower Park as it is located at the base of Sobornaya Hill and runs down to the city beach on the River Voronezh. The park was first really developed under Emperor Alexander I when he established the Lipetsk Mineral Waters Resort here, but most of the park's present day look is more recent - the main sanatoria on the edge of the park date from the 1970s and 1980s. The park still has a source of mineral water which is used by locals to fill up bottles of water. Also located here is Lipetsk Zoo.
