🌳 Udelny Park

вход с Фермского шоссе (у д. 21)

A former forest dacha of the Udelninskoye school (1832): century-old larches and oaks, a steep terrace ledge, a pond and a "squirrel enclosure".

From 1934 to 1991 the park was called Chelyuskintsev Park.
Legend has it that a pine planted by Peter the Great himself grew near Akkuratova Street until the end of the 20th century; only a stump remains.
The 5–6-metre ledge between the park's terraces is the shore of an ancient sea.
In the early 20th century the pond had a bathing house and a boat pier, and a small waterfall tumbled below the dam.
From 1968 the USSR's first running enthusiasts' club met at the Spartak stadium in the park.
In the 1950s–60s the park was the only place in the city where fans of chastushki (folk ditties) met regularly.
In 2013 the park was designated a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
