The park appeared in Suede's music video clip, ' Life Is Golden'. The Ferris wheel made news in September 2017 when Polish tourists turned it mechanically for the first time since 1986, later returning it to its original position. The park plays significant roles too in the Markiyan Kamysh novel about illegal Chernobyl trips, A Stroll to the Zone. The park plays significant roles in the video games S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Chernobylite and the film Chernobyl Diaries.

However, areas where moss has built up can emit up to 25,000 ВµSv/h, among the highest level of radiation in the whole of Pripyat. The liquidators washed radiation into the soil after the helicopters carrying radioactive materials used the grounds as a landing strip, so concreted areas are relatively safe. The successor to the original company is still manufacturing the Ferris wheel, paratrooper and bumper cars to largely unaltered designs as of 2017. The park also contains a carnival shooting game.Located north-west to the Palace of Culture in the center of Pripyat, the park had five attractions:

Д¬onstructed under the Soviet Union as a ' РџР°СЂРє РєСѓР»СЊС‚СѓСЂС‹ Рё РѕС‚РґС‹С…Р°' (Park of Culture and Rest) typical of many large cities in the then Soviet Union, the amusement park's attractions were manufactured by the Yeysk-based firm ' РђС‚С‚СЂР°РєС†РёРѕРЅ' (Attraction), who were responsible for the construction of many of the amusement parks which remain to be seen around the former Soviet Union today in various states of repair. In any case, the park-and its Ferris wheel in particular-have become a symbol of the Chernobyl disaster. Considering the lack of panic at the time of evacuation, there was no need to distract people. It is more likely and generally held that the video was taken in winter, due to clothing worn, and it was a test. Theories that the park was hurriedly opened in the aftermath of the accident to distract Pripyat residents from the unfolding disaster nearby seem to be substantiated by video showing that some of the rides were never fully completed (the Paratrooper was not fitted with canopies and the Ferris wheel's cladding was incomplete ). Several sources report that the park was opened for a short time on 27 April before the announcement to evacuate the city was made, and one site shows photos of the amusement park in operation. It was to have its grand opening on, in time for the May Day celebrations, but these plans were cancelled on 26 April, when the Chernobyl disaster occurred a few kilometers away.

The Pripyat amusement park is an abandoned amusement park located in Pripyat, Ukraine.
