Colonizer's Park

Colonizer's Park is a roughly 29-hectare green space in Petergof featuring ponds, pathways, and planted areas. Located between Borodacheva Street and the Samsonovsky Waterway, it contains multiple routes for walking through its landscapes.

The park was established in 1837 and became a key part of the Palace and Park Ensembles of Peterhof. Its creation shaped how the broader area developed as a cultural landscape.

The park reflects Russian garden design traditions with its layout of pathways and water features that guide visitors through the space. The arrangement of trees and planted areas follows principles that shaped how such estates were created during the 19th century.

The park is accessible by public transportation from Saint Petersburg and offers open areas for walking and exploration. Visiting during dry weather makes the pathways easier to navigate.

The park is part of the larger Peterhof Museum Reserve, connecting several gardens and palaces across the estate. This network allows visitors to experience different garden styles and periods in one visit.
