Sofiyivsky Park (Ukrainian: Софіївський парк; Polish: Zofiówka) is a landscape park in Uman, Cherkasy Oblast of central Ukraine. It was founded in 1796 by Count Stanislaw Szczesny Potocki, a noble Polish szlachcic. The park is named after his wife Sofia. There are many scenic areas in the park including waterfalls, fountains, ponds and a stone garden. It is one of the most famous examples of late 17th or early 18th century European landscape garden design that has been preserved to the present time.
