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.

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.

A great park, a beautiful idea, the animals are funny and cute. We'll come here again.

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.
