Categories / City Topography/Green Areas/Forest Parks

SEVERO-PRIMORSKY FOREST PARK is located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland. It stretches from Lisy Nos to Olgino. To the north of the park is the St. Petersburg -Vyborg freeway. The total area is 600 hectares and extends six kilometres. Severo-Primorsky Forest Park was laid out in 1961-65, located on a sandy terrace on an undulating coastal territory. Birch and fir forests prevail. There are also waterlogged fir forests. Pine forests are located on a ridge. There is an old oak copse captured in paintings of I. I. Shishkin near the shore of the gulf. A promenade road has been formed along the shore. Sandy beaches alternate with vast areas of reeds. Wooden sculptures have been mounted.
