Alexander Park, Public park next to Peter and Paul Fortress, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Alexander Park is a crescent-shaped public park on Petrogradsky Island, bounded by Kronverksky Prospekt, Kuibyshev Street and the Kronverkskaya Embankment. A canal separates it from the Kronverk, now the Artillery Museum. Its northern half holds the Leningrad Zoo, the Music-Hall, the Planetarium, the Baltic House theatre and Gorkovskaya metro station; the Mini-Gorod miniature park stands within it.

The park was created in 1842 on the initiative of Finance Minister E. F. Kankrin, who transformed a former military glacis into a public green space. The design followed the wish to offer the growing city a place of recreation and to put fortification grounds to peaceful use.

The park's name honours Emperor Alexander I, and on Alexander's Day (30 August) the first public festivities were held here in 1845. The People's House, built 1898–1900 by architect G. I. Lyutsedarsky on a pavilion design from the Nizhny Novgorod exhibition, later gained the People's Auditorium (1910–1912), now the Music Hall; another part houses the Planetarium. Lenin spoke there twice, and in 1923 the park was renamed after him.

The park is bounded by Kronverksky Prospekt, Kuibyshev Street and the Kronverkskaya Embankment, with Gorkovskaya metro station inside it. Trams 6 and 40 run along Kronverksky Prospekt, so the whole park can be circled by tram. A canal separates it from the Kronverk, now the Artillery Museum.

Mini-Gorod, Russia's only outdoor miniature park, occupies part of Alexander Park and shows scaled-down versions of Saint Petersburg landmarks. Nearby stands The Architects, a bronze group by Alexander Taratynov installed on 15 June 2011 and commissioned by Gazprom, depicting architects of the Russian Empire. For the figure of French architect Thomas de Thomon, the sculptor mistakenly used the likeness of British chemist Thomas Thomson, blaming Wikipedia and his own failure to check with a historian.
