The Alexander Park runs immediately to the west of the Catherine Palace, and covers round 200 hectares. It starts offevolved with what is left of the New Garden, a rectangular surrounded through the Cross Canal and divided into 4 smaller squares, every with a complex geometrical lay-out.

Constructed in the reign of Elizabeth, the New Garden is now nearly definitely overgrown, with the most seen stays being Mount Parnassus, a small synthetic hill covered in birches, and the Mushroom Bed, a convergence of eight little alleys marked via strangely formed wrought-iron benches that took the region of a gazebo in the early 19th century.
