Taras Shevchenko Park, Public park in central Kyiv, Ukraine
Located near the National University, this 14-acre green space contains numerous paths, benches, statues, and a central monument to its namesake poet.
The park, established in 1860, served as a botanical garden for Saint Vladimir University before becoming a public recreational space for Kyiv residents.
The central bronze monument of Taras Shevchenko stands as a symbol of Ukrainian identity, drawing visitors who place flowers at its base throughout the year.
The park includes multiple entry points from surrounding streets, with paved walkways connecting to the nearby metro station and university buildings.
Among the park's collection of 3,000 trees and shrubs stand rare specimens including a ginkgo tree and tulip tree imported from international locations.
