Парк имени Бестужева-Марлинского, Memorial garden in Adler district, Sochi, Russia.
This garden in Adler features wide pathways lined with cypress trees, magnolias, and plane trees that create a varied botanical setting. The grounds include multiple recreation zones with seating, children's play equipment, and a skateboarding area for different visitors.
In 1910 residents A. L. Nikolaev and N. S. Marar proposed a public garden at Adler; a village meeting backed the plan, which was drawn up with the manager of General Drachevsky's estate, now the Yuzhnye Kultury park. Plane trees, cypresses, magnolias and thujas were planted and alleys and benches laid out. A bronze bas-relief monument by Adler resident S. M. Tretyakov was erected in 1957 on the spot where the Decembrist writer Bestuzhev-Marlinsky died in June 1837.
The park is named after Alexander Bestuzhev, who wrote under the pen name Marlinsky; he was killed in June 1837 in a skirmish with highlanders in the forest on Cape Adler. A monument with his bronze relief, made by Adler resident S. M. Tretyakov, was erected in 1957 on the spot where he died.
The garden lies in Adler, near the cape where Bestuzhev-Marlinsky died in June 1837; the bronze memorial relief by Adler sculptor S. M. Tretyakov, installed in 1957, marks the spot. A skate park added in 2015 occupies part of the grounds, so expect skateboarders alongside the planted alleys of plane trees, cypresses, magnolias and thujas.
The park was laid out in 1910 by Adler residents A. L. Nikolaev and N. S. Marar, who won support at a village meeting and drew up the plan at General Drachevsky's dacha, now the Yuzhnye Kultury park. They planted plane trees, cypresses, magnolias and thujas, laid out alleys and set up benches.
