About the park
The ponds at the centre of Malinovka Park occupy the former channel of a buried river, identified as the Malinovka or, in some accounts, the Lapka. The river was buried in the 1970s, and deciduous trees predominate in the park. Its boundaries are Kosygina Avenue, Peredovikov Street, Entuziastov Avenue and Industrialny Avenue; across Peredovikov Street, the green space continues into Ladoga Park.

The park’s name recalls the local river, a tributary of the Okhta known as the Malinovka from 1743; it was also called Narvin Ruchey and Chyornaya Rechka. A nearby village had been known as Malinovka since 1799. After large-scale building in the surrounding residential districts, the park site was left as vacant ground strewn with construction waste. A park was designed in 1986 and laid out in 1990–1991, with a network of paths, a hill for sledging, and sports and children’s playgrounds in the plan. Later, a dispute over a church complex proposed for the park’s centre shaped its fate. Residents’ nine-year struggle to preserve the park ended in December 2021, when it was included in the city’s list of public green spaces.
Birds recorded nearby include great tits, mallards, hooded crows, house sparrows and rock pigeons.
