The Alexander Garden is located on the high bank of the Toima River. Shishkin Ponds Park is located at its foot. This park was established in 1846, and in 1856 it was named "Alexander" in honor of the coronation of Emperor Alexander II. Later, the garden was expanded, and the layout was made in the style of English landscape parks.
In 1866, merchant Stakheev ordered larch seedlings for the Alexander Garden abroad. These larches grow in the park today. In 2011, the park was reconstructed, and various sculptures appeared there. A sculpture of a stray dog with the inscription "Put a coin – help a stray dog" is installed near the entrance. There is a rotunda in the center of the park.
In the Alexander Garden there is an Alley of Lovers with original metal sculptures of people. There are several benches with similar sculptures on this alley: the dating bench, the proposal bench, the reconciliation bench, etc. There is an iron Tree of Descendants nearby. It was established in honor of famous people of Yelabuga.
In some places, the Alexander Garden looks more like a forest. There is a bridge over a deep ravine where the newlyweds hang up locks during the wedding. Near the entrance to the Alexander Garden there is the Trinity Cemetery and a monument to Nadezhda Durova, a cavalry-woman. This girl, disguised as a man, served in the Uhlan regiment and took part in the Patriotic War of 1812.
