April 9th Park

April 9th Park is a historic city park in Tbilisi, bordered by Rustaveli Avenue, George Chanturia, Archil Djordjadze, George Atonele, and Rezo Tabukashvili streets. This park was the first public garden in Tbilisi, designed by architect Otto Simonson in 1859 and opened in 1865. It was originally called Alexandrovsky and occupied the territory of the ancient hippodrome "Kabakhi." The park featured commercial pavilions, including a soft drink kiosk from the M. E. Lagidze factory.

After the events of April 9, 1989, in Tbilisi, the park was renamed. In 2007, the "April 9th" society proposed burying the first president of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, at the park's entrance. This park is an important place in Tbilisi's history and continues to attract visitors with its beauty and unique atmosphere.
