The park was established on the site of the former residence of Kyiv governors and high-ranking officials known as 'Vasilchykova Dacha'.
The park's diverse ecosystem includes century-old oak and linden trees, providing significant shade coverage.
The local relief is defined by a deep ravine that historically acted as a natural defensive line in the area.
Park Nyvky is an expansive forested park covering approximately 45 hectares in the western part of Kyiv. The landscape is characterized by a hilly terrain featuring several artificial lakes and densely wooded valleys. The area was formerly known as the park of the 22nd Congress of the CPSU, established in the mid-20th century. It offers a combination of paved walking paths and wilder, unpaved woodland trails. Several playgrounds are situated throughout the park, serving local families. The park is divided into two distinct sections by the local topography. Its proximity to Beresteiskyi Avenue provides a green buffer zone between urban development and residential blocks.

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the terrain can be uneven and muddy after rain.
Bring insect repellent during the summer months due to the park's dense vegetation and water features.
Carry a portable power bank, as the large area encourages long walks away from immediate charging access.
Avoid wandering into the densely forested ravine areas after dark, as lighting is limited and paths are not clearly marked.
