RussiaDescription and whether it's worth visiting
Buachidze Square (sometimes called the square on Buachidze Street) is a new pedestrian zone in Yessentuki. The square itself existed before, but it was just an ordinary city path. As part of a renovation program, it was completely updated: comfortable walking paths were made, benches were installed, lawns were planted, art objects were added, and children's and sports playgrounds were equipped.
The square stretches for nearly a kilometer in a narrow green strip between two roads on Buachidze Street. There's traffic on both sides, which is a bit off-putting at first, but the flow isn't too heavy, and overall it's safe to walk. The place turned out pleasant and well-kept, though without any architectural frills.
Several modern art objects are installed in the square. The most noticeable are metal sculptures of girls. They look unusual and add character to the place. A bit further, you can find another object — a large metal ball with a faceted surface that reflects the surrounding space.
For children, there's a modern play area with slides, swings, and carousels. For active recreation, there's a workout area with pull-up bars, parallel bars, and other equipment. The local authorities oddly decided to use the trendy word "workout" instead of the usual "sports ground." It's a trend, but it doesn't change the fact: it's a good place to exercise.
Our honest advice: We wouldn't say this place is worth a dedicated trip, especially if you're visiting the resort for just a few days. The main attractions — the park and the drinking galleries — are still more interesting. But if you're staying in this non-tourist part of the city (for example, in a hotel or apartment nearby), the square is a nice bonus — you can enjoy walking here anytime.
