Kiev Street Turned into Unique Park

An artist from Ukraine has turned an alleyway in Kiev into a unique public park. Let's take a look.

This alleyway is one of Kyivs residents favorite spots. With its great view of the city, it now sports a new public park dotted with animal sculptures.

With the help of construction workers, artist Konstantin Skritutsky has blended his animal sculptures in with the alley itself.

[Konstantin Skritutsky, Sculptor]: (male, Russian)
My goal was to make sculptures that would not only attract attention, but would let the public interact with them.

For example, he made a cat-shaped bench using a metal frame, concrete and mosaic.

Ive used ceramic teeth for the eyes. This is a beer bottle, smashed and melted in an oven.

And his cheerful birds provide illumination for passers-by.

"We also have a snake. Its made from two colored yellow stones. You can see it all through the park.

The place is popular with visitors. The elephant fountain is a hit.

[Katherine Goroshko, Visitor]: (female, Russian)
A great park, a beautiful idea, the animals are funny and cute. We'll come here again.

[Irina Budanskaya, Visitor]: (female, russian)
Its wonderful that such a site has popped up here! This place is amazing. Its a magical place here, especially for the children.

The artist will have another opening in spring with all his sculptures completed.
