Holosiivo hill

A year ago Goloseyevsky park was equipped with a good hill for skiing, convenient for teaching children and adults. But this year, the complex has not been opened, the slide is overgrown with weeds.



That's what the people of Kiev wrote:
"Lifts are not working. No ski renrals, no lighting on the territory of the ski resort, gates are closed and there is a sign "Entry denied". Close to the ski base and there is a snowtube rental 100 meters hil",  - said a resident of Kyiv Dmitri.

"So it was good last year, despite of some disruptions with lift, but still cool. It was good alternative to Protasov Yar. The child was delighted. We wanted to visit this weekend, but it's a pity....", - says Natalya Mazur.
