Park of the Tercentenary of St. Petersburg. How to get to the Park of the Three Hundredth Century?

In St. Petersburg, the total number of parks is approaching 70, the gardens - to 170, the public garden is 730 units. The landscape conditions of the territories on which the parks of the huge city are located are different. Their structure also differs - many include natural forests, and there are some that are laid on lands without vegetation.

The emergence and formation of the park

So the park of the tercentenary of St. Petersburg - the youngest in the city - was laid on abandoned land, besides, they were periodically flooded. In 2003, the Northern Capital celebrated its 300th anniversary. The date was celebrated magnificently. It was also timed for the commissioning of several significant objects, including the park of the three-hundredth anniversary of St. Petersburg, laid in 1995. Its territory is large - 91 (89) hectares. But this is the initial figures - after the celebration of the 300th anniversary, he seized part of the land on which, in particular, the water park "Piterland" was erected. Now the area of the park itself is 54 hectares.

Location of the park

The park of the Tercentenary (the youngest park zone of the Northern Capital) is located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, in the north-western part of the city, in the northern part of the Neva Bay (or the Marquee Puddle - the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland), on the border of the Prineuv lowland. Next to it are the water park "Piterland" and the Seaside Victory Park and the Central Park of Culture and Sports. To this green zone are also Elagin and Krestovsky islands. The park itself is incredibly beautiful, especially if you look at it from a bird's eye view. From the rest of the green massifs of the city it is distinguished by its original landscape design.

Symbolic number "300"

It was possible to split the park of the three-hundredth anniversary of St. Petersburg only after the shore was strengthened, the soil was filled with the soil under the park zone, and storm sewage and sewerage were built. After that, a barrier was built and lawns and flower beds were planned. The number of plants in the park is symbolic - at the time of the planting, 300 decorative apple trees were received, received as a gift from the capital of Finland (Helsinki). Institutions and organizations of the city also presented to the future park 300 seedlings of valuable breeds.

The bushes were also planted in the amount of 300 pieces - a gift from the German Savings Bank. To the bushes, he added 70 more linden seedlings.

In the center of the park there is a swimming pool and fountains, as well as a 22-meter stylized column under the lighthouse. It is granite, the number of tiers on it corresponds to the age of the city. It is planned that over time, the lighthouse will be carved with the names of people who played a role in the formation of the Northern capital.

Individual stroke

However, protection from the intrigues of the royal court in Madrid and a large sum of money for a good cause, Catherine II still helped him. And the third attempt, Miranda entered Venezuela.
