Znesinnya Regional Landscape Park (Ukrainian: Регіональний ландшафтний парк "Знесіння") is the largest park in Lviv, Ukraine.
It is located in the north-east part of the city and reachable within a 20-minute walk from the Ratusha (City Hall) and the Rynok Square (Market Square).
Together with the Vysokyi Zamok (High Castle) the hills of Park Znesinnya form Lviv's distinctive city skyline, known from drawings going back to the 16th century.

The park is located on green hilly parts of the historical village Znesinnya which was named after the Christian holiday of Ascension.
Therefore, it is one of the first areas settled by men inside the present boundaries of Lviv.
Being commenced due to a public initiative in 1993, Park Znesinnya is one of the first Regional Landscape Parks in Ukraine founded within the territory of a large city.
The NGO "Regional Foundation Znesinnya" started to claim for the protection of the area informally in 1990, getting registered in 1991 as a non-governmental, non-profit organization.

The park is managed by the park administration as a subunit of the city department of urban development and supported by „Regional Foundation Znesinnya”.
Following Ukrainian legislation on natural environment protected areas the park provides not only typical recreational park functions with tourism, but also environmental protection and environmental education.

Park Znesinnya covers a total area of 312 hectares and includes rare specimens of plants, as well as sandstones, limestones containing fossils, hills covered by forests and picturesque valleys with ponds and streams.
Regional Landscape Park Znesinnya is located on the main European watershed that separates the Baltic and the Black Sea.
Therefore, the green hills of Znesinnya are a part of Roztochia, a mountain range connecting Poland and Ukraine.
Parts of Roztochia are under protection, in Poland as a National Park and in Ukraine as a Biosphere Reserve.

Including the Open-Air Museum of Folk Architecture in Shevchenkivskyi Hay (Shevchenkivskyi Grove) it contains one of the most famous tourist attractions of Lviv.
Located close to the old town and the area under UNESCO protection, Znesinnya has several entrances from various streets, free for one's choice to walk.
