SQUARES AND PARKS

2010s

Designers located the Moscow Park in the Kentron administrative district, between Avetik Isahakyan, Gevorg Kochar, and Koryun Streets. It starts from Koryun Street, extends downward along the left side of Kochar Street and along the building of the Hrachya Gaplanian Drama Theater, and reaches the “Aragast” cafe.

During the Soviet years, the old and good tram of Yerevan used to pass through here, along G. Kochar Street.

Builders constructed it to commemorate the Armenian-Russian friendship.

At the beginning of the park, they installed the metal sculpture “Secure Your Future” (sculptor: David Minasyan, 2012).

In front of the side facade of the Drama Theater, they placed the bronze sculpture “The Backgammon Player” (sculptor: Edward Shakhikyan, 2007), the idea for which one of the students of the producer course at the Yerevan State Institute of Theater and Cinema proposed.

Due to the slope of the site, designers developed the park with terraced platforms and wide basalt stairs. They landscaped the area.

The park is one of the youngest recreational areas constructed in the Kentron administrative district, where they also hold various events.
