The Rogatka Embankment has become a new favorite recreation spot for residents of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and visitors to the island’s capital. The transformation of this public space began four years ago. The extensive work was divided into six phases, united by the concept: "The Park Comes to the City."
The first phase covered the southern bank. A promenade along Komsomolskaya Street was constructed, the embankments were reinforced, and vegetation was planted. The second phase improved the northern bank, repairing the pedestrian bridge and constructing an amphitheater and a covered area for city events. Access to the water was made possible. The main goal of the third phase was the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. It connected the southern and northern banks with a single, unobstructed route.
