Историческая справка

In the 1880’s, a part of Smolensk pole between the 25th liniya V.O. and Klubny pereulok was given over to a public garden. Already in 1886, a wooden building of Vasileostrovsky Theatre for Workers was built in the centre of the garden according to the design of Karl Anderson with funds of Vasileostrovsky manufacturers. Despite the design simplicity, both the theatre building and the garden fence harmonised stylistically with the surrounding ensemble — the Exchange Merchant Hospital in the 24th liniya and the Red Cross shelter. The theatre staged performances based on the works of modern classics: Emile Zola, Anton Chekhov, and Maxim Gorky. On Sundays and holidays there was paid admission, and on other days, admission was free. 
In the 19th century, the garden occupied only the southern half of its current territory due to plans to create another street between Bolshoi prospect and Sredny prospekt. The northern part of the garden appeared only after the Great Patriotic War. 
In 2010, a monument to painter and public figure Nicholas Roerich was installed at the western entrance to the park.
