Gorky Park, or Gorky Central Park of Culture and Rest is one of the most popular places for families to spend their week-end. There are numerous fairground attractions such as the Big Wheel, the giant swinging boat, switchback, swirling. For brave admirers of extreme sports there is always a rope to hang on (bungee-jumping) and for those who are not so daring there are horses, boats to hire and cafés. On holidays Gorky Park is a place of fetes with concerts and discos. On the 1st of August, the Day of Air Forces and 23rd of July, the Marines Day, Gorky Park is filled with the representatives of these professions.
