A park with rare trees and flowers has been arranged near the complex "Grozny-City". Residents of Grozny treated the park as very beautiful and original and noted that the opening ceremony was held at enhanced security measures.

The 4.5-hectare flower park was opened on the Day of Chechen Woman, on September 17. On the eve of the holiday, all quarters adjacent to the high-rise building complex "Grozny-City" were cordoned off by the police and soldiers.

In 2009, Chechnya established the Day of Chechen Woman in memory of 46 Chechen young women killed in 1819 when the tsar's troops seized the village of Dadi-Yurt in the Gudermes District of Chechnya.

More than 500 trees of different sorts were planted in the park, including date palms and sakura trees, 140,000 flowers and 18,000 shrubs. The part is decorated with green figures in shapes of animals, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports.

"The park will become a decoration for our city, and it will attract city residents and tourists," said an official from the Grozny administration.

The project of the park was realized as a part of the federal project "Urban Environment", noted the city administration.
