Initially, it was the most ordinary, unremarkable park, which even a park can hardly be called. so, a couple of lawns and benches along the intersecting alleys. So far, the creative and witty architect-sculptor Andrei Aseryants has not decided to turn it into something unusual and funny. So in 2007 on the lawns and alleys of the park appeared 13 sculptures depicting 12 signs of the zodiac and the symbol of Astrology. The symbol of Astrology, a telescope mounted on a pile of scrap metal, is located on the main square of the public garden. From it disperses dozens of alleys-rays. At the end of each ray zodiac sculpture is installed.

The sculptures themselves are very interesting, you have not yet seen such an interpretation of the zodiacal signs! For example, Sagittarius is depicted as a boy who aims from a slingshot to a lantern. Fish settled down at a table at ease and sip frothy beer from mugs. A musical accompaniment provides them Aries riding a huge drum and pipe with hoofs. However, the Twins from such a company are rowing in a boat synchronously somewhere, Leo fearlessly jumps through a fire hoop, and Scorpio is ready to sting everyone who decides to climb on his back. But nothing of the treacherous reptile will come out, because instead of a sting he has a flashlight!

Cancer is harnessed to chariot (a great place for memorable photos, by the way!). Capricorn in this park took on the image of a brutal biker in chains, a leather jacket and a Harley. But the Virgin is more beautiful than anyone - she is represented by a schoolgirl in a long sundress and boots with pigtails sticking out in different directions. But the most remarkable is not this. And the fact that the construction of iron figures did not spend a single penny: they are all made of scrap metal and iron garbage collected at the city dump in Rostokino!

Actually all the work of the famous sculptor-architect Andrei Aseryants was created from waste that he finds in landfills. A solution worthy of all praise, do not say anything! And the garbage is recycled, and the capital is decorated for the joy of Muscovites and tourists. Square "Signs of the Zodiac" in a residential area Sviblovo - really a very spiritual place.
