Among the large number of St. Petersburg islands, the former Kirov Islands should be noted. It is on one of them, Krestovsky, that an attractive vacation spot is located - Primorsky Victory Park. It is a landscape garden and park complex, consisting of the most interesting examples of St. Petersburg architecture of the 19th century. Its territory borders on Ryukhina Street, Northern Road, the eastern bank of the Rowing Canal, Northern Alley.

Recreation on this island began since the time of Peter the Great. Even then, country estates belonging to the close associates of the tsar, statesmen and prominent politicians of Russia were erected here. In the 17th century it became the private property of the famous Prince Beloselsky-Belozersky. During this period, the sale of plots of the island began, on which taverns and summer cottages were built. With the advent of Soviet power, the island did not lose its purpose. It was still a recreation area. After the victory in the Great Patriotic War, in the same year, during the mass community work day in October, the Primorsky Victory Park was founded.

The composition of the park includes a two-kilometer alley, which is decorated with curly trimmed shrubs and flower beds with colorful flowers. Parallel to it, there are two roads along which bronze statues are installed: “The Girl Meeting the Winners” and “Sailor-Chernomorets”. Attention should be paid to such sights as the pillbox, which has remained here since the war, and the memorial stele, which depicts the heroic victory of the Soviet people. At the end of the alley, majestic oaks rise, planted by various delegations that have visited the park. Seaside Victory Park has another interesting stele, which depicts a little girl planting a green sprout in the ground.
