Funland Park (Russian: фанны парк or Funland Amusement Park (Russian: фанны парк развлечений) is a family park in the Russian city of Tolyatti. Slightly under 8 hectares (20 acres) in area, it is located in the Auto Factory District, less than a kilometer northwest of Victory Park. It contains many amusement rides and similar attractions, but also quiet areas of trees, grass, and ponds.

Among the attractions are a steel rollercoaster, the Cyclone; go karts and bumper cars; a large Ferris wheel; a large outdoor swimming pool (in winter there is ice skating); arcades and cafes; a petting zoo; a butterfly glade; and other rides and attractions.

Various special events and celebrations are held at the park on public holidays and at other times. The "Oodles of Animals" event (Russian: Жизнь замечательных зверей), besides providing entertainment, results in many animals from the city's animal shelters being adopted. In winter, an entire small town made of ice, the "Magical Fairyland of Ice", is constructed.

Park (Wolverhampton ward)

Park ward is a ward of Wolverhampton City Council, West Midlands. It is located to the west of the city centre, and covers parts of the suburbs Bradmore, Compton, Finchfield, Merridale, Newbridge and Whitmore Reans. It borders the St Peter's, Graiseley, Merry Hill, Tettenhall Wightwick and Tettenhall Regis wards. It forms part of the Wolverhampton South West constituency.

Its name comes from the fact that two of the city's main parks, West Park and Bantock Park, lie within its boundaries. The ward also contains the Chapel Ash conservation area and also the Parkdale conservation area. Some other interesting architecture can be seen within the ward, particularly on the Tettenhall Road, such as first Mayor of Wolverhampton, George Thorneycroft's House. Two of the city's main thoroughfares are contained largely within the ward, namely the A41 Tettenhall Road and the Compton Road (A454. The Halfway House on Tettenhall Road was formerly a coaching house on the London to Holyhead route and as the name suggests, was the half way point. It was a pub for many years but is currently (2009) closed and for sale.
