Gorky Park, Public park near Victory Square in Minsk, Belarus.

Gorky Park is a 28-hectare park between Yanka Kupala, Frunze, Pervomayskaya streets and Independence Avenue. Its main entrance from Victory Square is a wide grey stone gateway with paired columns, scalloped panels, a balustrade with urns and the letters "ПАРК ГОРЬКОГО" and "PARK GORKY"; a small domed stone pavilion stands to the right. The park holds a 54-metre Ferris wheel, an educational observatory with planetarium, and the Ice Palace indoor rink.

The park originated as Governor's Garden in the early 1800s and was renamed during the Soviet era in honor of Russian writer Maxim Gorky. This transformation reflects the political shifts that shaped the region's public spaces over time.

The park's name honours Maxim Gorky, and a monument to the writer has stood near the main entrance since 1955; the seated figure installed in 1981 replaced it. A one-storey brick building, now the park administration, carries a plaque marking where the writer Yakub Kolas lived from 1927 to 1941. Chess players meet at the Slanyanya club, and a figure-skating school trains on the ice.

The park lies between Yanka Kupala, Frunze and Pervomayskaya streets and Independence Avenue, with the main arched gate facing Victory Square. Paths are paved with tiles and lit by lamps styled after old ones. Since October 2003 it has been a tobacco-free zone. Ducks gather on the Svislach and in the pond by the stadium, and squirrels are often seen.

On a rise in the park stands a building combining an educational planetarium, an observatory and a meteorological station, added during the 1960s reconstruction. Most visitors pass it on the way to the rides. The park has been a tobacco-free zone since October 2003.
