Mariinsky Park

Nature and Parks in Kiev

"The Zar’s Garden, the Palace Garden, the Proletarian Park. Every era gave this park a name of its own. It has always been close to various centers of power, from the royal Mariinsky Palace to the building of Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine’s Parliament). But even if you have no interest in politics and history, it’s still worth paying a visit. Mariinsky is a clean and elegant park, originally designed as an English-style garden. It comes with a Lovers’ Bridge, an open-air concert stage, and an observation deck with a telescope." - MATADOR_NETWORK
