Garden Babushkina, Regional heritage park in Nevsky district, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Garden Babushkina is a park situated along the banks of the Neva River, featuring open green spaces and paved pathways throughout its grounds. The space includes ice skating facilities, football fields, and several cafes positioned at different points within the park.

The park's origins date to Catherine II's reign, when a hunting castle was built beyond the Nevskaya Zastava and the surrounding woodland was landscaped; dachas of courtiers such as Kurakin, Chernov and Apraksin appeared nearby. In about 1925–1926 it was named after revolutionary Ivan Babushkin, who had begun his activities at the former Semennikovsky plant beyond the same outpost.

The park is named after Ivan Babushkin, a revolutionary who began his activity while working at the former Semennikovsky plant beyond the Nevskaya Zastava. The name, assigned around 1925–1926, ties the grounds to the industrial labor history of the Nevsky district.

This park accommodates different types of visitors and provides seasonal activities, particularly ice skating during colder months. It is best explored on foot since pathways connect the various facilities and recreational areas across the grounds.

The park's grounds once held a hunting castle built for Catherine II beyond the Nevskaya Zastava, and the surrounding forests were landscaped for the imperial court. Dachas of courtiers such as Kurakin, Chernov and Apraksin appeared nearby. The park was named after Ivan Babushkin around 1925–1926 because he began his revolutionary activity at the former Semennikovsky plant in this district.
