In Khokhlovsky Lane there is a building in which scribe books of the 17th century were kept. Since 1754, the building housed the Land Survey Office, which owned a garden on Pokrovsky Boulevard. The garden is closed - you could get there through the courtyard of the office. The paths of the garden remember Anton Chekhov, Valentin Serov, Konstantin Korovin and many other famous people. On the territory of the garden there is an outbuilding that belonged to Savva Morozov. Isaac Levitan spent the last years of his life there.

A cozy courtyard, like from old pictures.
Carousels, sandboxes, playgrounds, a squirrel cage and wooden houses. The houses house the Center for Aesthetic Education, where dozens of different clubs operate for children from 5 to 18 years old. Sometimes in the summer months the park is closed to outsiders and a city camp is set up there for the center's students. Milyutinsky Garden was closed until 1917, but after the October Revolution the situation changed.
In 1932, it received the name of V.P. Milyutin, and a gate was built to enter it. In Soviet times, dances, mass games, theater performances and film screenings took place here. Since 1936, the garden has been turned into a children's park. The garden is also famous for the fact that it was here that the first children's camps began, and in 1990 the Center for Aesthetic Education of Children opened.
In 2000-2001, the park was temporarily closed: during reconstruction, 12 trees and 224 shrubs were planted here, a lawn and flower beds were laid out, shaped concrete slabs were laid out, a fountain was installed, and areas for roller skating were installed. At the same time, a wooden house was built to house the center’s administration, children’s studios and sections - for example, here you can enroll your child in paper craft courses or karate classes.
For a long time, the park was not closed at night, but since the cases when students used it for gatherings became more frequent, they decided to close the garden: it is open until 21:00 and is guarded. There is only one way out here, the huge gates from the times of the USSR are used in their pure form as decoration, you won’t be able to enter the city through them.
The gates themselves are slowly falling into disrepair. What's so interesting about this tiny park? First of all, the magical atmosphere. This is a corner of peace and tranquility. The small park is ideal for children: be sure to come here with the whole family. Among local residents, the garden received the affectionate nickname “Milyutka”.
