Krestovsky Island

Krestovsky Island ( _ru. Крестовский остров) is a 3.4 km² island in Saint Petersburg, Russia, situated between several distrubutaries of the Neva: the Srednyaya Nevka, the Malaya Nevka and the Krestovka. The island is served by the Krestovsky Ostrov station of Saint Petersburg Metro. The western part of the island is occupied by the Maritime Victory Park. A new stadium is currently under construction in the west of the island, where Kirov Stadium was previously located. The eastern part of the island has been heavily built up since the late 1990s. In the late 19th - early 20th century the island was a place of summer resort for wealthy St. Petersburgers.
