Garden named after January 9th
The Garden named after January 9, located in one of the so-called “industrial” areas of the city, became the first city park established after the 1917 revolution.
Address:
Stachek Ave., 20, St. Petersburg, Russia
The garden named after January 9 was founded on May 1, 1920 at the First Communist Subbotnik.
Officially, it was given the name “Garden in Memory of the Victims of the Execution on January 9, 1905.”
The garden project was carried out by the famous St. Petersburg gardener R. F. Katzer.
In 1954, the garden was handed over to the children.
So as not to hurt the ears and children's consciousness, it was renamed “Children's Park named after January 9th”. In everyday life, local residents call it “Nine” or “Pleshkin Garden” [Legends of St. Petersburg gardens and parks.
Naum Sindalovsky] In 1924, according to the design of the architect L. A. Ilyin, a forged lattice, previously destroyed at the Winter Palace, was installed on the side of Stachek Avenue.
During the Great Patriotic War, the park was located quite close to the front line and, as a result, suffered greatly.
During the siege of Leningrad, the trees in the park were cut down for firewood, and the land was dug up for vegetable gardens. After the war, the park named after January 9 was restored.
It was landscaped and expanded almost twice. In 1954, the park was handed over to children. Numerous sports and playgrounds were created for them here, and a “Young Technician” club was opened. In the 90s, work also began on a major overhaul of the park, which lasted a total of about two years.
Now the Children's Park named after January 9 is a popular recreation spot for St. Petersburg residents: mothers with strollers, elderly people walk here, children frolic.
Nowadays, this park is one of the city gardens where citizens relax. It is not particularly remarkable, except for its remarkable grille. A forged modern lattice (design by R. Meltzer) in the form of climbing flowers hugging double-headed eagles and imperial monograms was installed in 1924. She is truly pleasing to the eye and at one time even received two gold medals at the Paris exhibition.
