About the park
The park’s slope divides it into the Upper and Lower Flower Gardens, with paths and flower beds following the change in level. On both levels, formal flower beds sit beside avenues lined with several dozen kinds of trees; open beds and fountains alternate with shaded plantings. Seven fountains remain, and the main flower bed in the Lower Flower Garden traditionally serves as a calendar of important events throughout the year.

Before the garden was created, this part of Rostov lay on the city’s outskirts, with steep ravine banks, a dirty stream and a municipal dump. In 1813, Andrey Yashchenko, who owned gardens here, gave the land to the city magistrate. City clubs took separate plots, laid out the first avenues, planted trees and made lawns. The gardens gradually joined, forming a large green area by the 1890s. The site also became a centre of city cultural life: the first wooden municipal theatre opened near present-day Pushkinskaya Street in 1840, and a club rotunda was built in 1864. A stone building later replaced it. In the lower part of the garden, a stone grotto and a pond with swans were created; springs rising in the low ground supplied the fountains.
Birds recorded nearby include mallards, great tits and rooks.
