GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
In 1881 the construction of the first public garden began in Batumi under the supervision of a Prussian gardener Ressler. In 1885 the arrangement of the garden was continued by a French gardener D’Alfons. In 1888 the city of Batumi was visited by the Russian Emperor Alexander III. Fascinated by the garden, he planted several trees in the park together with his family members. Eventually the park was named as "Alexander’s Garden". However, the name was changed periodically. Today it is called "6 May Park". The park combines the following educational-recreational units: dolphinarium, aquarium and zoological corner, children’s attractions. You can also tell the time by a sundial, enjoy the sight of the decorative "Stone Fountain" and have a boat trip.
