The park is named after Yuri Gagarin, the Soviet cosmonaut who became the first human to journey into outer space.
It is located within the Winogrady district, which underwent significant urban redevelopment during the 1970s and 1980s.
The park functions as an essential 'green lung' for the surrounding high-density apartment complexes.
