Ivan Franko Park, Historic park in central Lviv, Ukraine

Ivan Franko Park spans 11.6 hectares in front of the main building of Ivan Franko National University, featuring ancient trees and winding pathways.

The park originated in the 16th century as a private garden owned by the Scholz-Wolfowicz family before becoming a public space under Emperor Joseph II.

The park includes monuments, including a 1964 statue of Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko and a historic cast-iron vase depicting human life cycles.

Multiple entrances provide access to the park from Sichovykh Striltsiv Street and surrounding areas, with dedicated spaces for children and dog walking.

The park houses rare botanical specimens including tulip trees, Manchurian aralia, catalpa, and 300-year-old oak trees alongside traditional European species.
