About the park
Aleksandrino is a 110.52-hectare forest park in Kirovsky District, Saint Petersburg, between Stachek Avenue, Narodnogo Opolcheniya Avenue and Kozlova Street. Veterans Avenue runs through the park and divides it into northern and southern sections, corresponding to the grounds of two former estates whose parks are now part of Aleksandrino.

The park grew from the estates of Aleksandrino and Ulyanka. Both belonged to the statesman and military figure Ivan Chernyshev in the second half of the 18th century; Count Dmitry Sheremetev acquired them in the mid-19th century. Around that time, a landscape park was created at Aleksandrino, with architects including Nikolai Benois and K. Müller. During the Second World War, the park lay close to the forward line of Leningrad’s defences and suffered heavy damage. The estate buildings at Ulyanka were destroyed, while the gallery and east wing of Aleksandrino’s main house, Chernyshev’s Dacha, were lost. The house was reconstructed in the 1960s. From the 1970s, the park became a place of recreation for residents of the neighbouring districts of Ulyanka and Dachnoye; its central part was redesigned as a recreation area in the 1980s.
Birds recorded nearby include the great spotted woodpecker, great tit, wood warbler, Eurasian blackcap and Eurasian nuthatch.
