Park of Maxim Gorky
The origin of the park was from the City governing council who "put
forth a proposition to plant trees on 20-40,000 square metres on both
sides of the Sumskoy road"[1] The idea was that the area would be used
for horse riding in a similar manner to the Boulogne Forest. Teachers,
university students, and school students all assisted voluntarily with
the tree planting. Each tree had a plaque planted next to it showing who
had planted it. In 1899 in honour of the 100th birthday of Alexander
Pushkin the size of the park was doubled. In 1932 the park was increased
again in size to its ultimate size of 130 hectares.
