🌳 Yuzhno-Primorsky Park

Петергофское ш. (главный вход с фонтанами)

A 1970s park with ponds and islets, formal avenues and Kiselyov's concrete animals in the children's playground.

The 58-hectare park was laid out in 1960–1970 for Lenin's centenary under the architect A. G. Lelyakov.
Until 1992 it was called the Yuzhno-Primorsky Park named after V. I. Lenin.
The park was built on a marsh at the foot of the Littorina terrace.
By design, the wide avenue was to lead out to the Gulf of Finland, but in the 2010s the northern edge was built over with apartment blocks.
In November 1999 the 28-metre "Hammer and Sickle" monument was blown up here.
In 2005 the inscription "100 Years of V. I. Lenin" on the monument at the entrance was replaced with "60 Years of Victory".
