A few words about the history of the park
A summer garden on the banks of the pond was founded in the middle of the XIX century around the estate, which was called "Treasury House No. 15". The commanders of the Izhevsk weapons manufacturing plant also lived in this building, and various events organized by officers and local intellectuals were held, and even Emperor Alexander I stopped.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Summer Garden was open to every resident and guest. The Summer Theater was built on its territory, where performances were staged. Especially the audience loved the productions of Maxim Gorky. Therefore, soon the Summer Garden (or park) began to be called the name of the writer.
A brass band also played, dancing evenings were held.
