17-acre park, situated on the east bank of the Waimea River. The park has in it the ruins of a Russian fort that was originally built between 1815 and 1817; it was built for the Russians, but by a German architect, Georg Anton Scheffer, and named for Czarina Elizabeth, wife of Alexander I. A self-guided walk leads past remnants of the fort.
