History

It was created as an entertainment complex with mainly water activities: beaches, boating, water attractions. It is located on Venetian (Template:Lang-uk) and Dolobetsk (Template:Lang-uk) islands; the Venetian Bridge connects these islands. Venetian island is connected with the rest of Kyiv by two bridges: the Metro Bridge to the right-bank city and the Rusanivka bridge to the left-bank city. The Hydropark station of Kyiv Metro is located on Venetian island.
