The reconstruction was fulfilled by means of the Vardanyan family which spent USD 5 million 300 thousand to create this brand new park for the city. Accompanied by Karen and Mikael Vardanyans the officials toured about the park, familiarized themselves with the work done.

Mayor Marutyan expressed gratitude to the Vardanyans for the stunning gift given to Yerevan.
“Many people say that they want to do something for Yerevan. Dear co-citizens, if you want to make a present for Yerevan, build a new park or renovate the existing old ones, nothing more.

I hope that other businessmen who really love Yerevan will follow this example”, noted the Mayor.
