Silver Pond, Artificial pond in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Silver Pond is an artificial water body in Saint Petersburg surrounded by open green areas and walking paths that circle the shoreline. The space offers views of the water and multiple spots to sit and spend time outdoors.

The pond was dug in 1856 on land belonging to the Forestry Institute and became the core of the landscape park laid out around it. In 1865 the garden between Orbeli Street, Malaya Obyezdnaya Street and Institutsky Prospekt was formally established. In the early 20th century a bathing house, a tea pavilion and a summer theatre were added, and in 1905 the Kaigorodov mansion rose nearby.

The pond serves as a gathering place where locals enjoy walks and observe water birds throughout the seasons. It remains an everyday retreat from the surrounding urban environment where people spend quiet moments by the water.

The site is easily accessible by public transportation with bus stops near the main entrances. Visitors can walk the paths around the water at any time and explore at their own pace.

In 19th- and early 20th-century memoirs the pond sometimes appears as the Golden Pond: twice a year, in summer when pollen flies and in autumn when birch leaves fall on the water, its surface turns gold. Writer Sergei Glezerov notes that a separate Golden Pond, possibly behind the Kaigorodov mansion, has not survived.
