About this audio guide
This guide to the Children Landscape Park in Kyiv follows the sculptor Kostiantyn Skrytutskyi and the hillside lot he filled with mosaic creatures in two thousand nine. It reaches back to a neighbourhood fight over what should stand on this ground, and to who paid for the benches and fountains around you. Best heard strolling slowly along the path, with the tiled animals within reach.
