Otdelny Park

Otdelny Park is a landscape garden in Pushkin featuring many tree species, water bodies, and designed pathways. These paths connect this park to the larger Palace and Park Ensemble of Pushkin, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The park was created in the 18th century under Catherine the Great as part of a major landscape project surrounding the Catherine Palace. This period established the design and structure that remains visible today.

The park shows how Russian noble families designed their gardens, blending English landscape styles with local plants and traditions. Visitors notice this mix especially along the shaped paths and open spaces throughout.

The park is accessible from Saint Petersburg using public transportation, with multiple entry points providing access to the walking paths. Plan time to explore different areas at a leisurely pace, especially if you want to see the water features and wooded paths.

The park displays the four seasons of northern Russia distinctly, with trees and water features changing their appearance significantly. These dramatic shifts make each visit feel different depending on when you arrive.
