English Park, Landscaped park in Petergof, Russia.
The English Park stretches along the Gulf of Finland, featuring geometric layouts, formal gardens, and numerous water features integrated into natural terrain slopes.
Peter the Great commissioned this park in the early 18th century as part of his grand vision to create a Russian response to the Palace of Versailles.
The park demonstrates the fusion of European garden design principles with Russian imperial aesthetics through its layout, fountains, and architectural elements.
Visitors can access the park by hydrofoil from Saint Petersburg between May and October, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The fountain system operates without mechanical pumps, using natural water pressure from springs collected at higher elevations to power water displays.
