Park named after Taras Grigorevich Shevchenko is situated opposite the main bulk of the University in Vladimirskaya Street. The square of the park is 5,4 hectares. The park was founded on the waste territory in 60s of the 19th century (the gardener Christiany K.) and was named University park. In 1896 the monument to Nikholai I was erected in the park so it got the name Nikholaevsky park. Shevchenko park poses a rectangular territory divided with two general alleys (along the axles) and subsidiary diagonal ones. Perimeter of the park is surrounded with picturesque roundabout road. In 1939 the monument to Taras Grigirevich Shevchenko was set in the middle of the park. Kiev. Cyclopediñ enchiridion 1986.
