Park of Stones

Park of Stones, park with geological specimens in Dzerzhinsky district, Perm, Russia

Park of Stones is a public garden in Perm, in the Dzerzhinsky district in front of the Perm-II railway station, between the two rail directions and Gaidar Square. It holds 59 rock samples from the Western Urals, of which about 20 remain, plus two fountains and a tire scarab sculpture.

The garden was created by decision No. 687 of the city executive committee on 14 December 1973, in the year Perm marked its 250th anniversary. It was designed by staff of the Uralgiprolesdrevprom institute, credited either to Tyurina or to D. N. Konevskikh and N. P. Sumenkov. A tall three-sided stele with three reliefs by K. M. Sobakin once stood here.

The nickname "Park of Stones" comes from the 59 rock samples from the Western Urals displayed here, each once with its own information plate. Most plates and many stones are gone; about 20 remain. Later additions include a scarab made of car tyres and, until its 2024 demolition, the Perm Gates art object.

The garden lies in the Dzerzhinsky district in front of Perm-II railway station, between the two rail directions and Gaidar Square. It is a small square, so a walk past the stone samples and the two fountains takes little time; combine it with a wait at the station.

Of the 59 rock samples placed in 1973, only about 20 remain; the lost stones were partly replaced by art objects, among them a scarab made of car tyres. The park is officially a branch of Perm State University's Permian System museum.
