🌳 Tauride Garden

A large landscape garden by the Tauride Palace with canals, hills and playgrounds.

The garden was laid out in 1783–1800 by the English gardener William Gould at Prince Potemkin's Tauride Palace.
The ponds were filled with water from the Ligovsky Canal and stocked with sterlet, and the soil dug out was piled into hills.
The garden opened to the public only in 1866.
From 1958 it was the City Children's Park; the historic name was restored in 1975.
In Chukovsky's “Moydodyr”, it is in the Tauride Garden that the washcloth chases the hero and he meets the Crocodile.
The garden has monuments to Tchaikovsky (1990) and Yesenin (1995).
