There’s something special about Ravine Park that sets it apart from the manicured gardens of big cities. It feels real — a space shaped by both nature and history, where the roughness of the land is part of its beauty. It’s not overly polished, and that’s what makes it memorable. The combination of greenery, water, and old stone gives it a quiet dignity, like a living monument to the endurance of the island and its people.
Standing at one of the small bridges and listening to the wind, you realize that this park holds the same spirit that defines all of Kronstadt: resilience, depth, and harmony with the sea.
Ravine Park (Ovrazhny Park) may not have the grandeur of the forts or the dramatic stories of the naval monuments, but it offers something just as valuable — peace. It’s a place where history meets nature, where the past flows gently into the present.
If you want to understand the heart of Kronstadt, don’t just visit the walls and cannons — walk here. Sit beneath a tree, listen to the distant sound of church bells and sea wind, and feel the balance that defines this remarkable island.

Read moreПрекрасное место!!! Приятно было погулять. Очень большая и современная детская площадка, со множеством разнообразных качелей, лазелок, висело и ползалок. Так же большой верёвочный парк, с тремя уровнями сложности. От 250 до 350 рублей. Время вроде даже не ограничивали. Дочь ползала почти час, пока мы сами не вытащили, так как замёрзли))) Шикарные панорамные качели с видом на залив! Да и просто много мест для прогулки, красивых, познавательный и просто интересных! С парковкой сложновато, но найти места вдоль дороги не сложно. Фудтраки с едой и напитками, цены выше средних, что само собой. Короче, рекомендую к посещению. Пока локдаун, отличное место...
