About the park
Vladimirskiy sad occupies 26.5 hectares on the upper Volga escarpment in central Ulyanovsk, at elevations of 150–155 metres. Its northern edge meets Sobornaya Square; the Stepan Razin descent marks the southern boundary, Plekhanov Street the west, and Druzhby Narodov Park adjoins it to the east. The site links the relatively level upper part of the city with the steep Volga slope. Lawns were laid and flower beds planted here in 2011.

In 1872, the city administration proposed making a garden on a large unused plot beside the water tower near Sobornaya Square. Planning, fencing and tree planting began the following year. In 1889, railings separated the garden’s northern part from Novy Venets Boulevard, and a fountain was built with a life-size girl and six cherubs around its basin. The garden was named for Vladimir Vladimirovich Orlov-Davydov, governor of Simbirsk. In 1919, when the People’s House named for Yakov M. Sverdlov opened in the former Public Assembly building within the garden, the grounds were renamed Sverdlov Park. The park was reconstructed in 1947–1948 for the city’s 300th anniversary; the work included a main entrance arch and a stone staircase with decorative vases on its pedestals. Its historical name returned on 22 November 2010. The following year, the fountain was restored and its 19th-century sculptural group returned.
Birds recorded nearby include hooded crow, rock pigeon, great tit, fieldfare and black-headed gull.
