"Constructed in 1803, Odesa’s first park is located just off Deribasivs’ka and was a gift from José de Ribas and his brother to the locals as gratitude for their trust and admiration. Contemporary Odesians rub elbows with tourists drawn in by the parks fountain - a popular place to relax and socialize. A live orchestra stages regular performances. Vibrant bronze statues of lions, literary heroes and the eccentric sportsman Sergei Utochkin spring up from the manicured lawns and beg to be photographed." (Odesa in Your Pocket, 2013).
