Old Ufa or Zelenaya Rosha (Green Grove) neighborhood stretches along the high banks of Belaya and Ufa Rivers, from the Monument of Friendship to the hippodrome «Akbuzat». In 1970-s in the area filled with wooden houses new buildings started to appear and construction is still going on. Due to abundance of green spaces, absence of large industrial enterprises there are hospitals, health resorts «Zelenaya Rosha» and «Raduga», a children’s health resort «Salut» here. The main tourist and recreational place in Zelenaya Rosha is the territory of the «President hotel» and the Botanical Garden Institute of Ufa Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In the Mendeleev street, on the high bank of the river, there is the hippodrome «Akbuzat», the ski centers «Olympic Park» and «Ak-Yort» (see «Sport complexes»).
