Private landscape park "Sakura Island" in Volodarka, Kyiv region, was created in 2019 by local entrepreneur and philanthropist Mykola Kaplun according to his own project. On the outskirts of the village, he landscaped an area of ​​1.6 hectares, where he dug a 350-meter-long canal, threw three bridges across the Ros River onto the island, and planted about 200 trees of various species, as well as 3,500 species of flowering shrubs.

"Sakura Island" is decorated in the Japanese style and has many interesting photo zones. In the center stands a pagoda with an observation deck, from which a panorama of the entire complex opens. The oriental theme is supported by a torii gate and a stone garden. There is also a grotto with a waterfall and a fountain, a colonnade in the ancient Greek style, a model of the ship "Santa Maria", on which Christopher Columbus discovered America, stylized remains of the sea monster Leviathan, and a large number of various sculptures.
