Minsk's Best Courtyard 2021: A Green Oasis Among Khrushchev-era Buildings
Minsk's best courtyard for 2021 has been crowned. The green space, nestled between Shchekavitsa Boulevard, Gaya Street, and Osipenko Street, won first place in October. This isn't a one-off event; the city regularly selects the top courtyard. The winning space is a hidden gem among recently repaired Khrushchev-era buildings.
The victorious courtyard underwent a modernisation in 2025, transforming it into three distinct zones. One area caters to young children, another encourages sports enthusiasts, and a mini-football pitch rounds off the space. The selection process evaluates several key factors. These include the condition of children's play and sports equipment, improved surfaces, lush greenery, sanitary conditions, original design, and resident involvement in beautification and decoration.
The winning courtyard is an oasis in the heart of Minsk. Its modernisation and careful consideration of key criteria have earned it the top spot. The city's regular selection process ensures that such green spaces remain a priority.
