Garden of Ivan Fomin, Public park in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Garden of Ivan Fomin is a public park in Saint Petersburg featuring extensive green spaces and several water features throughout its grounds. Paved pathways and numerous seating areas connect different sections, allowing visitors to move through and rest in various parts of the space.

The garden grew out of a wasteland around a pond that residents of nearby blocks improved themselves in the 1980s, laying paths and planting trees and shrubs. The decision to lay out the garden was taken on 27 November 1989, and it was named after the architect Ivan Alexandrovich Fomin. In 2010 the city law on green spaces changed its designation from square to garden and reduced its area to 7.64 hectares; in 2014 it was reduced again to 7.61 hectares.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals regularly come together for seasonal events and outdoor activities. It plays a central role in the community's social life and recreational routines.

The park can be accessed from multiple surrounding streets and features well-maintained pathways throughout. The flat terrain and ample seating make it easy to explore at a comfortable pace for visitors of all ages.

The pond, covering 2.3 hectares, is one of the few regular nesting sites in Saint Petersburg for the red-necked grebe, a species listed in the city's and Russia's Red Books. It also holds a rare white lily variety seldom found within the city and small fish, while migratory ducks raise their young here.
