Zelenaya Roscha, Urban park in Leninsky district, Yekaterinburg, Russia

Zelenaya Roscha is a park in the Leninsky district of Yekaterinburg, covering 13.07 hectares within its protected area. About 70 percent is pine forest aged 140 to 150 years; the remaining 30 percent is deciduous trees, mostly planted in the 1930s. The grounds lie between Bolshakova, Sheynkmana and Narodnoy Voli streets.

The grove, then called Monastyrskaya, belonged to the Novo-Tikhvin Convent and was granted to it by Emperor Alexander I; a convent cemetery lay within it. After the revolution the convent was dissolved and the grove stood ownerless. In 1926 engineer N. Boyno-Radzevich, head of the city planning department, saved it from being built over. In 2008 it was declared a protected natural area.

The grove was called Monastyrskaya before the revolution, when it belonged to the Novo-Tikhvin Convent and served both as a monastic cemetery and a recreation ground for townspeople. Since 1949 the neighbouring Young Naturalists' Station has planted blue spruces, Siberian cedars and larches, and schoolchildren have tended the garden for decades.

The park lies in the Leninsky district, bounded by Bolshakova, Sheynkmana and Narodnoy Voli streets. Since 2002, construction of residential complexes has been underway on part of the territory and on the former young naturalists' station plot, so some paths may be closed off. The remaining area keeps its recreational role and has been a protected natural area since 2008.

The park received protected natural area status in 2008 to shield its forests and wildlife from construction projects. This official designation means development plans for the grounds are strictly regulated and subject to environmental review.
