The Alexander Park, with an area of around 200 hectares, adjoins the Great Tsarskoe Selo (Catherine) Palace on the side of the parade ground (courtyard). The main entrance to the park is located opposite the Catherine Palace. The park can also be entered through the gate by the Alexander Palace or along the road that runs through the Large Caprice.

The Alexander Park is made up of a regular area – the New Garden – and a landscape park.
