Volodymerska Hill is a park in Kiev with the territory over 10,6 hectare founded in the middle of 19th century. The park is located on the upper and middle part of Mykhailovska Mountain. The upper part of this mountain was occupied by the construction of Izyaslav city and St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery.
The development and planning of slopes began in the 1830s. In 1853, on the west side of the mountain a monument to Vladimir the Great was built, after which the hill took its name Vladimir. The park on this hill got the same name.
