The park is composed almost entirely of granite and labradorite, stones that are the primary economic products of the local Korostyshiv quarries.
Vitaliy Rozhyk personally maintained and expanded the sculpture collection on his private property until his passing.
Several sculptures depict characters from Ukrainian folklore and history, reflecting the sculptor's cultural heritage.
The park's proximity to the Teteriv River allows for a specific microclimate that supports moss growth on many of the stone carvings, creating a weathered, ancient aesthetic.
Park Skulʹptur Vitaliya Rozhyka is a unique outdoor sculpture garden established by the late local sculptor Vitaliy Rozhyk in Korostyshiv. The park is situated along the banks of the Teteriv River and serves as an informal open-air gallery for granite-carved works. Many sculptures are carved directly from local labradorite and granite, materials for which the Korostyshiv region is historically famous. The collection features a blend of mythological figures, religious icons, and abstract forms. The landscape design incorporates the natural rock formations of the river basin into the park's arrangement. It remains a testament to the artist's lifelong commitment to regional stone-carving traditions. The site functions as a public green space providing riverside access and artistic exploration.
The elevated path overlooking the river, where you can capture the sculptures framed against the water and natural rock backdrop.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes as the terrain around the riverbank and garden paths can be uneven.
Bring insect repellent, as the riverside location can attract mosquitoes during warmer months.
Visit during the shoulder seasons to see the granite sculptures in varied natural light without the dense summer foliage.
Do not attempt to swim in the Teteriv River directly at the park edge, as the banks are rocky and potentially hazardous.
Avoid climbing on the sculptures, as the stone surfaces are porous and can be damaged by human oils and friction.
