Alexandria Park

Alexandria Park, Landscape park in Peterhof, Russia

Alexandria Park is a 144-hectare landscape park in Peterhof, laid out between St Petersburg Avenue and the Peterhof–Kalishche railway. Its drained terrain holds ponds with three islands, gravel paths, birch groves, and groups of oaks, spruces, and pines. Two 19th-century guardhouses survive; the cast-iron pavilion and Swiss house that once stood on the islands are gone.

From 1734 the site served as the imperial hunting preserve known as the Great or Deer Menagerie. In 1832–1836 Nicholas I had it drained under the garden master P. I. Erler, following designs by A. A. Menelas and I. I. Charlemagne: ponds were dug, three islands made and gravel roads laid. Renamed Proletarsky Park in Soviet times, it regained its historic name in 1992.

The park's name comes from the "Own Dacha of Her Majesty Alexandria" it once formed part of, now the separate Park Alexandria. In Soviet times it was renamed Proletarsky Park, and the historic name was restored in 1992 by the Petrodvortsovy district council. Today residents use it for exercise, and it hosts a Victory Day athletics run and dog-sled races.

The park sits between a major road and a railway line and is walkable year-round. Visitors should wear good footwear, as paths can be slippery in wet weather.

The park's water body once contained small islands with buildings such as a cast-iron pavilion and a Swiss-style house that visitors could reach by ferry. These structures show the creativity used in designing the park landscape.
