Question about translation

[nick-spender.livejournal.com]

Hope you can help me. There is a place, named "Центральный парк культуры и отдыха" in Saint-Petersburg. I wanna translate it to english, but not sure, which word is best for "отдых". I think, "Rest" is not actually the one, which is good here.

Central park of culture and rest

Ooops. It seems there is no unanimity regarding a single translation. Here's another version:

First, I guess, it's best to go with the "official" translation provided by the city. If there is no such "official" translation, then just go with what is de facto the established norm.

If you're really adventurous, then go with your own translation. But that will most likely get shot down, due to lack of precedent.
