Загородный сад, Recreation park in Central District of Tyumen, Russia.
Zagorodny Garden stretches along the Tura River banks with walking paths, fountains, sculptures, and planted areas featuring pines, birches, and lindens. The park connects the central district to the Profsoyuzny Bridge crossing the river.
The garden was founded in 1851 by merchant Ivan Ikonnikov and was initially named Alexandrovsky after a royal visit connection to Tyumen. This name reflected the garden's importance as a civic landmark from its earliest days.
The park displays bronze sculptures from the 19th century showing residents like a hussar, women strolling, and a boy, all created by artists from Tobolsk. These works capture the daily life of the city during that era.
The park offers shaded resting areas and well-maintained walking paths suitable for different visitors and their needs. You can find quiet green spaces for sitting or paths that lead toward the river for a different experience.
A cedar tree in the park was planted by Prince Vladimir in 1868 to honor Tyumen residents for establishing this green space. This tree stands as a quiet memorial to a historical gesture of gratitude.
