kyiv: hidropark

my first year in ukraine, hidropark was on the list of places in the city i wanted to explore, but for whateva reason, it never happened...this year, my metro train to work goes across the island on which hidropark is located, so i see it almost every day...
hidropark is an amusement park of sorts on an island in the middle of the dnipro river in the middle of kyiv...when i say amusement park of sorts, i mean that it isn't like an amusement park in the states...there are a few rides, but none of them are big...at all...and what we saw looked old, not necessarily in good condition...
hidropark is fairly large, there are woods and garden areas as well...there are also beaches, which are quite crowded when the weather is warm...since we visited in november, that was definitely not the case...(we did see a couple people skinny dipping, which must've been FREEZING)
this was another weekend outing with camille that might've lasted longer if we hadn't both ended up so cold...
