Sarzhyn Yar
Sarzhyn Yar is a 12 km-long gorge to the north of Kharkiv, which is known for its mineral water spring. The most distinguishing landmark of Sarzhyn Yar is a futuristic concrete pavilion on three pillars, which was designed by the architect V. S. Vasiliev and built in the 1960s.
In 2018, the Sarzhyn Yar recreation area from the embankment to the mineral water spring was restored. Seven ponds were created on three different levels, and a children's playground, a sports field, a park landscape, and a new staircase to the "Botanical Garden" metro station were built. The canopy over the spring was also reconstructed and the pumping stations and fountains repaired.
On August 30, 2022, shells hit one of the buildings of Sarzhyn Yar, killing a woman who had come to the spring to fetch water.
