Лакреевский лес, Protected forest area in Cheboksary, Russia.

Lakreevsky Forest is a 41.2-hectare park in Cheboksary whose plantings are 91% pedunculate oak, a result of its natural origin; the oaks are 90 to 140 years old, with single specimens of 160 years. In the active recreation zone and central part there are artificial plantings of warty birch and small-leaved linden, with Siberian larch, Norway maple, rowan, green ash and hazel in smaller numbers. The entrance is marked by a green beam on a slender green post and a tall light-wood pylon with white diagonal lines, carrying the letters "ПАРК ЛАКРЕЕВСКИЙ ЛЕС".

The forest is the remnant of a large oak grove west of Cheboksary that belonged to the landowner Fyodor Andreyevich Lakreev-Panov, secretary of the Sviyazhsk provincial chancellery; his family also owned the village of Usadki, nicknamed Lakreikha. In 1957 a city park of culture and rest named for the 40th anniversary of the Great October Revolution was created on the natural oak stand, and the old name was soon restored. In 1978 it was designated a natural monument, and in 2016 it was removed from the register of protected areas of the Chuvash Ministry of Natural Resources.

The park's name comes from Fyodor Andreyevich Lakreyev-Panov, secretary of the Sviyazhsk provincial chancery, whose family owned the village of Usadki, nicknamed Lakreikha. Concerts, contests and evening events are held here, and flowerbeds have been laid out since 1994.

The park lies west of central Cheboksary and is entered through a gateway marked "ПАРК ЛАКРЕЕВСКИЙ ЛЕС"; a sign there bans scooters. A central alley laid out in 1972 crosses a ravine over a footbridge, and the fence dates from 1972. Flowerbeds have been planted since 1994.

The park's oaks range from 90 to 140 years old, with a few individual trees reaching 160 years. At the 2005 "Crystal Wheel" competition in Sochi, the park was placed among the ten best-equipped and best-kept parks in Russia and the CIS.
