Shveitsariya Park, Regional park along Oka River in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Shveitsariya Park stretches 3.5 km along the Oka River in Nizhny Novgorod, from the Myza station to the Palace of Sports. Its 380 hectares include the Sluda tract, a 75-hectare remnant of broad-leaved forest with lindens and oaks up to 150 years old. A forged lattice fence from 1962 by architect V. Rymanenko runs along Gagarin Avenue, with monumental entrances in Russian classicism style by architect V. V. Voronkov.

In 1903 pupils and teachers planted about a thousand young pines on two hectares of the slope beyond Tolmachyovsky settlement, land the city zemstvo had leased to peasants from Ankudinivka and Utechino. In 1937 the park was enlarged and named after Bolshevik worker Pyotr Krinov, then after the war renamed in honour of the Leninist Komsomol. Its present boundaries and the name Shveitsariya were confirmed in the early 1990s.

The park's name comes from the sloping terrain above the Oka, likened to a Swiss landscape. In the Soviet era it was renamed after worker Pyotr Krinov, then after the Leninist Komsomol, before its historical name returned in the early 1990s. The wrought-iron fence along Gagarin Avenue, installed in 1962 to architect V. Rymanenko's design, has monumental entrances in the Russian classical style by architect V. V. Voronkov.

The site has multiple entry points and is well-connected by paths, making it easy to navigate different areas. Wearing comfortable shoes is advisable since walking distances are considerable and the terrain varies.

The park is home to rare orchid species listed in the International Red Book, growing on the sloped terrain of specific sections. These protected plants make it a place of botanical importance for the region.
