About the park
Soldiers' Lake fills the northern part of Ivan Yakutov Park, its principal open stretch of water. It has repeatedly grown shallow or dried out, while shrubs and grasses spread along its banks; it is now full, and rubbish and algae are cleared regularly. A boat station and fountain stand by the water. When the garden was laid out in 1904, poplars were planted along its central and side paths, with birches and lime trees beside the smaller paths.

In the nineteenth century, Ufa's boundary ran along Bogorodskaya Street. Beyond it, an uninhabited tract extended as far as Soldiers' Lake; North Settlement began on the far side, home to railway workshop workers, river workers and merchants. South of the lake stood the Church of St John the Baptist and a cemetery established in 1824. The cemetery closed in 1898, though burials continued until 1906. In the early twentieth century, it covered half the area of today's park. The idea of creating a public garden here was proposed in 1903, on a treeless wasteland between Central and Aleksandrovskaya streets. In 1918, the garden took its name from Ivan Yakutov; that year, railway workers and Red Guards who had died fighting the White Guard ataman Dutov were buried here.
Ducks and gulls live on Soldiers' Lake. Fieldfares, Bohemian waxwings and Eurasian siskins have been recorded nearby.
