During the German occupation of Kremenchug in 1941-1943, almost everything in the KVSZ park was destroyed. The Germans used the trees for heating. There was a German cemetery in the park. During the retreat in 1943, they dug up the ashes from the graves and took them with them. After the war in 1946, during Sundays, new tree plantations appeared on the territory of the park, which was an almost bare area, to the right of the main entrance. And in March 1949, a project for the redevelopment of the park was approved.
