Park "Voksal"

Park Voksal extends along the central area of Tver with paved pathways, deciduous trees, and grass areas for outdoor activities.

The park originated in 1770, during the period of Catherine the Great's urban development plans for expanding green spaces in Russian cities.

The park contains architectural elements that represent the traditional Russian garden design principles of the 18th century provincial capitals.

Visitors can access the park through multiple entrances near the Tver Provincial Zemsky Hospital complex and adjacent transportation networks.

The name Voksal derives from London's Vauxhall Gardens, reflecting the Russian adaptation of European garden naming conventions.
