The open-air sport ground in the Hrazdan Canyon in Yerevan, which is also known as “Bidzu Gyol” of “Chrik” (literally – “Old Man’s Basin”), is said to have been formed in the 1920s. At that time people used to come here to swim, to run or just work out.
Over the years the area was provided with sport equipment, and on the riverbank, near the drinking water source a pool was formed.
Today, both old and young people rush here to get their share of a healthy lifestyle. Armenian world and Europe champions used to work out in the Hrazdan Canyon as well.
