Kostiantyn Mohylko square
Kostiantyn Mohylko square located next to Khmelnytske shose is bringing us ...
It is a territory of picturesque, nearly pristine nature just between the dwelling areas in the northwest of Vinnytsia. A site of the mixed coniferous forest is a real oasis among the urban city design. This treasure is highly estimated both by Vinnytsia residents and city guests, as one can have a rest and entertain here to the utmost.
The urban forest consists of two forested areas split by the automobile road between them.
The central alley brings you from Khmelnytske shose to a big children’s playground, meant for playing, sport activities and just relaxation in pergolas. You can see alleys with facilities and bicycle tracks, wooden benches and LED lights, video surveillance is also provided there.
Deep to the urban forest, among the hills and paths, there are improvised tracks for cycling and motocross. Orienteering competitions are held here on the territory of the green zone.
Two wide lakes add to the beauty of the urban forest. A specific picnic zone is equipped next to the Sotske lake (close to Korea microdistrict). Here you can rent a pergola with outdoor grill, to taste grilled food, to socialize with your friends in a cozy company, to go boating or rent a catamaran. On the bank of the Huralnia lake, a picturesque lake next to Piatnychany microdistrict, you can stay at one with nature and take a break away of civilization with its frantic pace of life: to swim, to lay in the sun or make a date.
Urban forest is an ideal place for hiking and cycling, relaxation on ownsome and friendly meetings, tasty picnics and even fishing. It perfectly unites nature with entertainment for all age groups. And it goes not only for a warm season - in winter children and adults can have a lot of fun with sledges, snow saucers, skating and skiing, etc.
There is the Vinnytsia TV tower rising high above the urban forest, you can see it far out over 30 km in a sunny weather. It covers four regions, more than 30 digital TV channels and 11 radio stations are broadcasted with help of this TV tower. It is made from steel pipes and weighs 444 t. There is an elevator inside the tower. It makes 8 stops and goes up to 309 m with speed 65 cm/s, having capacity 240 kg.
Not far from this place, on Maksymovycha street, there is a picturesque location: the so-called Lake of Peace and the Gothic structure with very well balanced shapes – it is the Baptist Church “The House of the Gospel”, a truly architectural masterpiece. It is a popular place for photo sessions and walking.
If you go few stations along Khmelnytske shose towards the downtown, you can see a nice decorative tram. It invites to visit the Museum of Vinnytsia Tram, a real tourist object: you can book an informative and entertainment-focused excursion in advance. Apart from photographic materials and exhibits connected with the history of tram service in Vinnytsia, it can offer to see an exhibition of real streetcars of various periods. You can make a trip around the city by a retro streetcar or by a City Tour Tram, if you book it in advance.

The project of the TV tower erected in the Urban forest, was developed in 1960 by Belarussian Research and Design Institute of the Steel Constructions (“Proektstalkonstruktsia”). The project was implemented in 1961 and the object started up in September 1963. At that time the TV tower was the second highest in the world after the Empire State Building (the height of the American skyscraper is 448m., the height of Vinnytsia tower is 354 m.)
In the 2000s there was a thorough overhaul of the tower with replacement of supporting structure and holding ropes and strutting renovation.
