During the day, happy children run here, enjoying the bright day, and in the evening they, together with their parents, stay to watch a bright light and music show of the most famous fountain in the city.
The square underwent many reconstructions to look like this.
A sculpture of a liberator and memorial plaques with the names of thirty-seven residents of Kremenchuk — heroes of the Soviet Union — were installed in the square in the 1950s, next — a bust of Vernadsky.
In 2014, it was renamed in honor of the man, who put his soul into the city and contributed to the greatest development of the park — Oleg Meidanovich Babayev — the mayor of the city, who died the same year. Today it is Oleg Babayev Square.
There is a monument to the liberator, the Alley of Heroes of the Soviet Union, a monument to Vernadsky, a monument to Oleg Babayev, a memorial to the victims of Stalinist repressions of 1933-1937, as well as the Pride of Kremenchuk — a light and music fountain.
In winter, it is a real holiday of light — thousands of lanterns sing New Year's songs, creating incredible pictures of fairy tales. Moreover, the fountain acquires a New Year's look.
