Vorontsov Garden, Public park in Kirovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Vorontsov Garden is a square in Saint Petersburg's Kirovsky District, bounded by Stachek Avenue, Kronstadt Square, Dachny Avenue, Veterans Avenue and Lyoni Golikov Street. Its northern half, a regional cultural heritage site, holds three historic ponds, one crossed by a metal footbridge built in 1995 by the Lenmostostroy trust. Parts of the garden have been built over with modern apartment blocks.
The garden is what remains of the Sheremetev estate Ulyanka, the estate of R. I. Vorontsov and Bruce's dacha. Its northern half is a regional cultural heritage site with three historic ponds. In 1995 a metal footbridge was built over one pond, and on 1 March 2013 the nameless garden was named Vorontsov Garden after one of its owners, R. I. Vorontsov.
The garden was unnamed until 1 March 2013, when it was called Vorontsov Garden after Roman Illarionovich Vorontsov, one of the owners of the estate on whose grounds it lies. Its northern half is a regional cultural heritage site, and a pedestrian metal bridge built in 1995 by the Lenmostostroy trust crosses one of the three historic ponds.
The garden is accessible through several entry points and the paved pathways work well for walkers of any ability. The best time to visit is from May through September when flowers are blooming and the weather is pleasant, though the place is open year-round.
