Piskaryovsky park, Urban park in Kalininsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Piskaryovsky Park is an urban green space in Saint Petersburg that combines forested sections with open lawns and walking paths throughout its grounds. The park features water bodies, seating areas, and diverse zones where people can spend time outdoors.
The park was created in the 1930s as an urban recreation area and later became a significant memorial site. After World War II, monuments were added to commemorate those affected by the Siege.
The memorial site honors those who died during the Siege of Leningrad, and the park serves as a place where locals come to remember and pay respects. Visitors often see flowers and wreaths left at the monuments throughout the year.
The park is accessible on foot with several entry points from different streets, making it easy for visitors to find an entrance. Pathways and benches are distributed throughout, and nearby public transit connections link the location to other parts of the city.
The park serves as a final resting place for thousands of victims whose names are inscribed on the memorials. This dual function as both nature reserve and burial ground creates a contemplative space rarely found in urban parks.
