Zagorodnyi park, Urban park in Samara, Russia.

Zagorodnyi Park, formally the M. Gorky Central Park of Culture and Rest, covers 42.4 hectares between the Volga bank and Novo-Sadovaya Street. It holds over 7,000 trees and 30,000 shrubs, including oaks a century old or more. A staircase of 178 steps leads down to the river, facing the Zhiguli Hills.

The park was established in 1932 during a period when Samara was modernizing its urban spaces. It became an important part of the city's approach to creating public recreational areas.

The park's name comes from its position outside the old city centre, and its main alley fills in summer with shooting galleries, throwing stalls and vendors of cotton candy, corn and popcorn. In 2003 deputies of the Samara provincial duma and Great Patriotic War veterans planted an avenue of veterans here. A small animal corner in the Tarzania rope park, open May to September, lets visitors feed and touch many of the animals and birds.

The park lies between the Volga bank and Novo-Sadovaya Street. A staircase of 178 steps leads from the park down to the river beach, where a rescue tower and changing cabins are set up in the swimming season. The main rides and the central alley operate in summer from 11:00 to 20:00, with Monday as a day off; the Tarzaniya rope park works all year.

The park has staircases that lead directly down to the Volga River shore, allowing visitors to combine park and riverside in a single visit. This direct connection to the water is a feature that many visitors initially overlook.
