It's a beautiful park, and every year I find a new reason to visit it. And there are already five:
1. Take a funicular ride to the monument of Mother Georgia.
2. Water routes along the Kure River start from the park. It's short, but it's definitely worth a swim once.
3. There is a cool staircase up the mountain and it offers fantastic views of Tbilisi.
4. The right, tourist part of the park has not yet been overgrown, but the left, where the unfinished rear in the video pipes (toli opera, toli exhibition center) are located, is ideal for walking.
5. And fun trading. Pomegranate juice, coffee, fried corn. A separate like for the Chinese with his cute bracelets.
The park is a center from which roads diverge along different tourist routes.
The park is well maintained, but the trees are still young and do not create much shade, so it is uncomfortable there in the heat. There is a light fountain where everyone takes pictures in the evening. You can go up in a hot air balloon. There is also a funicular station rising to the Narikala fortress on the opposite bank of the Kura. There is a pavilion with entertainment and some horror stories in the building of the funicular station from the park side, entrance is paid. I wanted to take a picture of the figure near the entrance to the pavilion, on the street, but I was told that they can only be photographed if they have a ticket. There is also an unfinished building on the territory of the park - a glass building in the form of large pipes, which was intended for a theater and a concert hall. The idea is good, it looks modern, I hope they will finish it. From Rike Park, you can cross to the other side of the river via the Peace Bridge, which is also a landmark of the city.
