Hydropark, or Hidropark (from Ukrainian: Гідропарк) is a landscape-recreational park on the Dnieper River in Kyiv, Ukraine.

History

General view of Hydropark seen from the Rusanivka neighbourhood on the left bank of the Dnieper

It was created as an entertainment complex with mainly water activities: beaches, boating, water attractions. It is located on Venetsiiskyi (Ukrainian: Венеційський) and Dolobetskyi (Ukrainian: Долобецький) islands; the Venetian Bridge connects these islands. Venetsiiskyi Island is connected with the rest of Kyiv by two bridges: the Metro Bridge to the right-bank city and the Rusanivka bridge to the left-bank city. The Hidropark station of Kyiv Metro is located on Venetsiiskyi Island.

Current activities available: number of beaches (including one for children and one for nudes), boat and catamarans rental, ping-pong and tennis, paintball and football, water attractions, restaurants, casino and Sun-City Slavutych disco club (right on the beach), open-air gym (Soviet era heritage) and riverboat excursions.
