Gorky Park, Regional cultural heritage park in Taganrog, Russia

The park extends over a large area in central Taganrog, featuring numerous trees, paths, monuments, and recreational spaces for visitors.

The establishment of the park dates back to 1806 when the local governor Baron Balthasar von Campenhausen ordered the planting of the first trees.

The park received its name in 1934 to honor Maxim Gorky, following its transformation into a cultural and recreational space for the community.

The park remains open throughout the year, offering various facilities including fountains, sundials, and seasonal activities for children.

During World War II, the occupying Nazi forces used sections of the park as a cemetery, altering its original layout and purpose.
