In 2020, two green areas will be landscaped in the Central district: the Garden of Friendship on Liteiny Avenue and the nameless square on 55 Kirochnaya Street. Residents of St. Petersburg opposed the latter project plan back in the summer of 2019. In their opinion, the area with sports equipment for active recreation is the only place where children can spend time with benefit.
According to the plan for dismantling the sports area located at 55 Kirochnaya, it is planned to create "a new public space using modern approaches to urban development". A green area of 3.3 thousand square meters will include benches and trash bins, as well as will be laid with two types of paving slabs and concrete; some areas will be covered with river pebbles. The plan also provides for the construction of a playground, however, following the documentation,, all sports equipment shall be dismantled. At the same time, the square will have a sports ground for playing football and basketball.
It is expected the discussion of the improvement of the Garden of Friendship with the residents will be initiated by the administration of the Central district already in 2020; and at that point the territory will be properly arranged. The garden was opened between houses 15 and 17 in May 2003 as a gift from Shanghai to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the city. There is a Wall of Nine Dragons, Pagoda of Friendship, a stone bridge over a small artificial reservoir with a fountain and a cherry tree which annually pleases the citizens with its flowering on the garden's territory.
