The park has been expanded to 16 hectares [ when? ] . In the summer of 1968, the construction of the Palace of Sport began in the Victory Park. The construction of an artificial ice field was headed by the chief engineer of the chemical plant Iosif Mironovich Bolotin. It was assumed that the length of the future sports palace will be 72 meters, width-36, height -13 meters. The capacity of the ice arena was to reach 1200 spectators. According to the plans of builders, volgodontsev would have the opportunity to year-round speed-skating, watching performances of skaters and ballet performances on ice. However, the chemical plant, which oversaw the construction and already passed the palace of culture a year earlier, did not complete the project.
On November 4, 1976, the “Alley of Party and Labor Veterans” was laid in Victory Park, the first trees were planted by R. S. Chubar, A. I. Yavelberg, P. K. Bogdanova, G. I. Ovchinnikov, N. A. Kadolin , F. K. Vasilyev, M. Kh. Dolgikh [ who? ] .
In 1979, the executive committee instructed the architect Taras Grigorievich Botyanovsky to create a park reconstruction project, linking it with one idea to the main square of the city, Victory Square.
Botyanovsky T.G. worked as chief architect in the city of Saratov, Balakovo. In 1974, he came to work in Volgodonsk, where the construction of a nuclear power plant began. In 1977, Botyanovsky was appointed the chief architect of Volgodonsk. In addition to the park and Victory Square, the Victory Arches, according to his projects, the Stroitel sports complex, the Volgodonsk hotel and other famous buildings of the city were built. In 2000, the architect was awarded the title "Honorary Citizen of the City" [1] .
In 1980, the reconstruction of the park began. In the spring of 1983, the executive committee approved the candidacies of mothers to the “Walk of maternal glory. The list includes 11 mothers who have raised 5 or more children. The alley was decorated by sculptor V.P. Polyakov designed by architect T.G. Botyanovsky.
April 22, 1985 on the day of the communist Saturday laid the "Garden of Memory". All the trees in this garden were planted by relatives of those who did not return from the war. In total, more than two thousand trees were planted in the park. At the entrance is a slab-stone with the inscription: "In memory of the fallen - be worthy", decorated with a laurel wreath. Next to the "Garden of Memory" is a glade of hero cities, also designed by T.G. Botyanovsky [2] .
On May 9, 1985, on the day of the 40th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War , the reconstructed Victory Park and the eponymous square with a fountain designed by Vasily Polyakov were opened. In the center of the fountain, which has the outlines of a large star, on the pedestal are the steel figures of two victorious warriors, standing on the fragments of the swastika and holding the banner of Victory in their hands. The fountain is located at the intersection of the four alleys of the park:
- veterans of the party and labor;
- maternal glory;
- military glory;
- first builders.
