About the park
The park lies on the edge of the Neva Lowland, beside the northern part of Neva Bay, where open water meets the shore. The shoreline was reinforced and the ground built up; lawns and plantings surround a central pool with fountains. Some trees have a particular history: Helsinki donated 300 ornamental apple trees, and a German savings bank provided 70 lime trees.

The park was founded in 1995 to mark the 300th anniversary of Saint Petersburg. By 2003, its shoreline had been reinforced, the ground raised, lawns laid out and drainage and sewer systems installed. The original 89 hectares later shrank substantially as parts were transferred for development; in 2018, a further 15 hectares, mainly beach areas, were taken out of the park. That year, the pedestrian Yacht Bridge connected the park with Krestovsky Island.
Birds recorded nearby include the hooded crow, great tit and European herring gull.
