🌳 Murinsky Park

пойма Муринского ручья, у пр. Луначарского

A long park along the Murinsky stream with ponds, cycle paths and sculptures; the stream splits Grazhdanka in two.

The decision to create the park was made back in the 1980s, but work to reclaim the floodplain began only in the early 2000s.
On 1 August 2009 the first cycle path in Petersburg opened in Murinsky Park.
In 2018 the floodplain east of Grazhdansky Avenue was added to the park, which grew to about 150 hectares.
The sculpture garden in the park was begun in 1985 by the sculptor Alexander Chernitsky; four of his granite works survive, including "The Ogre".
In 2001 wooden animals resembling Slavic idols were added to the granite — they were carved by students of the Roerich school.
