Lviv Park: Childhood Memories and the Present. #monomad challenge.

Hi, this is my entry for the #monomad challenge.
When I was a little girl, the Lviv Park of Culture was a true world of wonders for me. Every Sunday, my mom would take me there, and I remember the long queues for tickets and the thrilling anticipation. Back then, in the Soviet era, standing in line was part of the ritual, but later, in the '90s, the queues became shorter, as did people's incomes.
I warmly recall those days, especially my desire to ride the bumper cars, where the queue was always the longest. These memories are filled with joy, cheerful music, concerts, and competitions that made my childhood bright and vibrant.
My son's experience was completely different. We took the tram to the park, but from a distance, it was already clear that the past had been left behind. The fountains, once resembling dandelions, were now broken and looked like a coronavirus monument. Maksym's anticipation of wonders quickly turned into disappointment. Walking past the working rides, we heard the creaking and scraping of old iron. It was eerie, not fun. My son refused to try any of the rides because he felt scared.
We simply walked past, watching other people who were screaming, whether from joy or fear. I realized that modern children need completely different experiences, different emotions, and safety to truly feel joy. This park needs a complete renovation to become a world of wonders for a new generation, not a grim museum of the past.
Thank you for your attention and visit!

Мені сподобалась фраза про зламані кульбаби, як пам'ятник короновірусу! Це так влучно! Але й сумно... що все руйнується... хіба що у наших спогадах з кульбабок під тиском витікає вода, створюючи чудову картину!

Дякую, я десь прочитала, що цей фонтан був створений для охолодження систем заводу. І він його обслуговував, а так як завод закрився, то і фонтан став не потрібним.
