Location

edit

The station is under Molodyozhny Prospekt (Avenue of the Youth) in the south of Nizhny Novgorod, on the edge of the city’s Avtozavodsky Culture Park, from which it takes its name. Exits at both ends of the platform lead to Molodyozhny Prospekt.

History

edit

In the planning phase, the station was called Zhdanovskaya. It opened on 15 November 1989. Three days later, a crack in the tunnel required a temporary closure of the Komsomolskaya–Park Kultury section for repairs.[1]
