Moskovsky Victory Park, Memorial park in Moskovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Moskovsky Victory Park is a 68-hectare green space in the Moskovsky District featuring numerous ponds, canals, wide avenues, and flower gardens. The grounds contain more than 100 varieties of trees and bushes that create different areas and outlooks throughout the layout.
The site originates from the Siege of Leningrad between 1941 and 1942, when Brick Factory No. 1 operated there. It was later transformed into a memorial park to honor and acknowledge this tragic period in the city's past.
The Avenue of Heroes displays bronze statues commemorating individuals recognized as Heroes of the Soviet Union. These monuments shape how visitors move through the park and engage with its memorial purpose.
The grounds offer tennis courts, mini-golf, boat rentals, cafes, playgrounds, and an outdoor ice skating rink for different activities. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the various areas and consider different options depending on the season.
A commemorative cross marks the location of the former brick factory and points to archaeological investigations linked to graves from the Siege period. This quiet memorial tells of the lesser-known aspects of the city's wartime history.
