Gorodskoy Garden

Gorodskoy Garden, Public park in Kurgan, Russia

Gorodskoy Garden, now named after Alexander Nevsky, occupies several blocks between Karl Marx, Gogol, Lenin and Volodarsky streets in central Kurgan. It has two formal entrances, the Southern one from Karl Marx Street and the Eastern one from Lenin Street. The grounds combine Festival Square, Decembrists Square, Chess Square and Happiness Square, and the Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky stands by the park.

The garden occupies the site of Kurgan's first citywide cemetery, laid out in 1786 with the first regular town plan. In 1860 the cemetery, by then surrounded by dense building, was closed and a city garden was created in its place. In June 1924 the city council merged the former Gogol school and Moscow Agricultural Society gardens with the cemetery grounds to form a central park. It was named after Alexander Nevsky on 26 October 2022.

The garden's name changed on 26 October 2022, when the Kurgan City Duma voted 17 to 2 to name it after Alexander Nevsky; a deputy noted that the earlier Lenin name had no official confirmation. The grounds contain the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and a monument to the Decembrists unveiled on 25 August 2012.

The garden spans several blocks between Karl Marx, Gogol, Lenin and Volodarsky streets, with two formal entrances: the Southern one from Karl Marx Street and the Eastern one from Lenin Street. The site lies within the archaeological monument "Cultural layer of the city of Kurgan, 17th–19th centuries".

The park occupies part of an archaeological monument, the "Cultural layer of the city of Kurgan, 17th–19th centuries". Its site was the town's first general cemetery, founded in 1786; in 1930 the obelisk to the fallen commissars was moved to the main avenue, and a carousel was later installed over the actual graves, operating until the 1990s.
