Gorky Park, Regional cultural heritage park in Taganrog, Russia

Gorky Park is a green space in central Taganrog featuring mature trees, pathways, monuments, and recreational areas for different age groups. The design combines open lawns with wooded zones, fountains, and various installations for visitors.

The first trees were planted in 1806 on the orders of a local governor and formed the foundation for the present area. The park received its current name in 1934 as a tribute to the famous writer.

The park is named after Maxim Gorky, whose name it received in 1934. Its chess pavilion opened in May 1928 on a terrace of the 1927 reading pavilion, was rebuilt as a cafe in 1992 and reopened as a chess pavilion on 4 August 2012, when governor Vasily Golubev proposed a tournament for his cup. Since August 2021 the former dance floor holds the art space Taganrog Tram, with a 1966 Tatra T3 tram used for children's workshops.

The park is bounded by Petrovskaya, Sotsialisticheskaya, Bolshoy Sadovy and Maly Sadovy lanes, and Kanatnaya Street. A gate onto Kanatnaya Street was welded shut in July 2014, so enter from Petrovskaya Street. The chess pavilion and the Taganrog Tram art space, with its 1966 Tatra T3 carriage, are inside.

The chess pavilion opened in May 1928 on a terrace of the reading pavilion built in 1927; in 1992 it became a café, and on 4 August 2012 it reopened as a chess pavilion in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich and Governor Vasily Golubev, who proposed a Governor's Cup tournament there.
