Skver Zaytseva is a public memorial park located in the historic center of Kolomna, dedicated to local activist and soldier Ivan Zaytsev. The park features a central commemorative bust of Zaytsev, who was killed during the Russian Civil War. It serves as a landscaped green space integrated into the city's residential and administrative district. The area includes paved walking paths, benches, and manicured lawns suitable for short recreational breaks. It functions primarily as a quiet urban memorial site rather than a large-scale amusement park. The layout emphasizes historical reflection and pedestrian accessibility within the local neighborhood.
