Gorky Park occupies a central place in the capital, which is why it is very popular among local residents and guests of the city. In a metropolis, such green islands are simply vital, where there is no frantic rhythm, rushing cars and rushing people. Here visitors can play sports, take a quiet walk or chat while sitting on benches.
Gorky Park is quite old; it was founded in 1928. True, then it was just a place of rest. In addition, he performed a number of important functions, served as a venue for political, educational, cultural and educational activities. By the way, initially this place was allocated for agricultural and industrial exhibitions, only then it was converted into a park.
Gorky Park is located along the banks of the Moscow River, which provides a constant flow of fresh air. total area- more than 100 hectares. This is a large green area where more than 50 species of trees are planted. Linden grows most of all because it blooms beautifully and provides a lot of shade and oxygen. In addition, oaks, maples, ash trees, and birches grow here. The central alleys are planted with walnut and chestnut trees. To make the park look attractive, numerous rose gardens and flower beds have been laid out, and decorative ponds have been created. All open spaces are occupied by flower beds, sculptures and fountains.
Reconstruction came to Gorky Park in the summer of 2011. Probably many Muscovites remember what it was like before. Huge cracks in the asphalt weed, mountains of beer cans, orderly rows of kebab shops, smoke and a lot of tipsy people. Today the situation has changed dramatically. First, all the old and sometimes faulty attractions, many of which were potentially dangerous, were dismantled. At the same time, all the trays and other commercial structures were removed. This was the first step, sometimes condemned by visitors.
Then, in place of the dismantled structures, new asphalt was laid, smooth as glass. They laid out flower beds with a total length of about two hectares. The territory has become well-groomed, similar to European urban recreation centers.
Today they stopped taking money for entrance to the park of culture and recreation. This is another reason to come with your family and have a good time. To ensure that the holiday was not boring, bicycle paths were built. Available for rental a large number of bicycles and velomobiles. Riding a multi-seat bicycle will become a favorite adventure for adults and children.
In place of private kebab and cheburech houses, a normal food chain from city restaurants appeared. Now you can eat deliciously and inexpensively in comfortable conditions, being sure that everything in the kitchen is met sanitary standards. There are free comfortable poufs and sun loungers throughout the territory for comfortable rest. Special stands will allow you to regularly recharge your laptop and phone, so you won’t be left without music.
Olive Beach is open for sunbathing lovers. On the banks of the Moscow River, everything you need is prepared: sunbeds and sun loungers, umbrellas and showers, comfortable changing rooms and a toilet. While the recreation area can accommodate 500 people, there may not be enough space on a hot weekend day.
There is a specialized skate park for fans of extreme sports. Beginners and real pros will love it here; you can take skill lessons, show your level and just ride to your heart's content. If you come with children, then leave them in a huge equipped sandbox. It was recently created on the territory of the park and is the largest in Moscow. Here you can create entire sand sculptures and have fun with your peers.
After spending the whole day in the park, in the evening you can gather with the whole family at the cinema under open air and watch a good movie on the big screen. Depending on the weather, spectators are given blankets and even comfortable raincoats. Just imagine the romance of watching an interesting movie outside in the warm summer rain.
Foreign guests say that the park has already reached European levels. This is a real city getaway. Outdoor yoga classes are becoming a fashionable trend. The Gorky Cultural Park has picked up this trend, and now at certain hours you can see groups exercising in the green meadows. There is something so alluring about it that you want to join in and do a couple of asanas.
There are 50 table tennis tables throughout the area. There is also the opportunity to play tennis. There is even a ping pong club that holds its own competitions. Muscovites of all ages love to bang balls on the table.
What is nature without beach volleyball? The park fulfills the desires of its guests by offering magnificent white sand areas. Do you like to ride bicycles, roller skates, or skateboards? Designated paths will allow you to enjoy traffic without disturbing other visitors. In addition, there are equipped grounds for playing handball, volleyball, football, with an instructor or on your own.
What is very pleasing is that smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the park. You will not be enveloped in clouds of cigarette smoke from the company sitting next to you, and there is little chance of meeting an annoying drunk person. These are the first steps towards raising a healthy generation, and therefore the nation as a whole. Mothers with babies can now spend the whole day here; a mother and child room is open on the central alley, where you can change and feed the baby.
Thanks to the reconstruction, Gorky Park (Moscow) reached a completely new level. Now I want to come here, have a pleasant rest, and besides, such a vacation significantly saves time, because you don’t need to go out of town. In addition to a variety of entertainment, the park offers free Wi-Fi access and a large number of outlets for charging phones and laptops. Study, work, read, communicate - and all this in nature.
Famous artists and beginning groups often perform on the stage: dance and vocal groups. Almost every evening the stage lights up, inviting you to watch something interesting.
Today it is becoming the epicenter of the life of the capital. Here they hold meetings based on interests, meet people and go for walks, have fun and play sports. Serious work has been done to maintain the interest of residents. In just a year, the Golitsinsky and Pionersky ponds were cleaned. Instead of muddy swamps covered with dense duckweed, there are now bright reservoirs where fish were released - 400 kg of live specimens of grass carp and silver carp. In addition, environmentalists decided to settle black-necked swans here, and now Muscovites watch these majestic birds in the evenings. Regular work is carried out to plant trees and shrubs. Every spring, a group of designers creates a new, amazing design on flower beds from various plants.
Another direction - monuments cultural heritage. Work has just begun on the improvement of the “Golitsinskaya Wall” on Pushkinskaya Embankment, the gazebo named after the 800th anniversary of Moscow, as well as the five fountains that are part of this architectural complex.
Gorky Central Park (Moscow) includes this interesting object. The building itself was built a long time ago, but remained closed for about 20 years. In 2012, its doors opened again to visitors. To make it easier to observe the stars, a new powerful telescope has been installed. In addition, the architects improved the building's dome, which became fully automated. It itself rotates 360 degrees, the doors themselves adapt to the conditions, opening enough to provide the most convenient view of the sky. If you want to receive original photo Gorky Park, then start a photo shoot here, capturing yourself in the role of an aspiring astronomer.
Usually it is children who remind us that we can go to Gorky Park. However, almost all the attractions have been removed from here, leaving only a small area for kids. There are small carousels, a bungee jump and a standard train. And for older kids, there are plenty of options for entertainment; just go to the sports equipment rental department. Roller skates, bicycles, skateboards, scooters, balls and other equipment for playing on the playgrounds - all this is in demand among young visitors.
The rope “Panda Park” will delight children, and adults often enjoy pretending to be Tarzans. There are three routes of different difficulty levels, they run at an altitude of 15 meters. Of course, there is a safety net below, but it’s still an unforgettable experience.
Of course summer is the time beach holiday. You can go sunbathe on Olive Beach, rent a boat or catamaran. There are also educational playgrounds here. One of the most striking examples is the “Green School”. The teacher shows snails and rabbits, teaches how to germinate seeds and plant plants. Tells a lot of interesting things about the world around us. Artists, performers and scientists come to visit the children. And in Neskuchny Garden there is a small zoo. Tame squirrels, lambs and sheep and rabbits live here.
The recreation park is open 24 hours a day, 12 months a year. In winter, the main attraction opens here - a huge skating rink, Magic world for children and adults. Artificial turf allows you to ride from October to March in any weather. For beginners there is a “First Time on Ice” program; experienced instructors will teach your child the basics of this beautiful sport. If desired, you can continue classes.
IN summer time, especially on a weekend, you don’t want to stand in a traffic jam for several hours, so it’s better to use the subway to get to Gorky Park. The Park Kultury metro station is located almost next to the entrance to the park. All you have to do is get out of the subway, cross the Moscow River on the bridge, and you are there.
Central Park of Culture and Leisure named after M. Gorky (CPKiO named after M. Gorky) is the central park of Moscow with a attendance of more than 20 thousand people on weekdays and 100 thousand people on weekends and holidays.
The history of the Park of Culture and Recreation begins in 1923, when the “urban empty land” became part of the vast territory of the 1st All-Russian Agricultural and Handicraft Exhibition (VSKhV). The exhibition area occupied all the floodplain coastal lands of the Moscow River from Crimean bridge to Neskuchny Garden, including the Titovsky Proezd area, forming, in general, the boundaries of the future Central Park of Culture and Culture named after. M. Gorky.
In March 1928, the Presidium of the Moscow City Council decided to establish a Park of Culture and Recreation in Moscow on the territory of the former All-Russian Agricultural Exhibition, Neskuchny Garden and Sparrow Hills.
The idea of organizing multifunctional parks in the city, connecting cultural and educational work with recreation, first appeared in the USSR. The “Regulations” on PKiO noted that the purpose of its creation was “the organization of a Park of Culture and Recreation with relevant educational institutions and enterprises that meet the principles of mass cultural and political services for the working population of Moscow.”
Academician Ivan Zholtovsky, avant-garde architect Konstantin Melnikov, and architect Alexander Vlasov worked on the layout of the park.
The Central Park of Culture and Culture opened in Moscow on August 12, 1928. The park contains exhibition pavilions, tennis bosquets and a decorative swimming pool, attractions and a special town for children. It was the first park of its kind in the world. Great events were held in the park public events and exhibitions, sports and leisure activities were organized. The first children's playground was opened in the children's town Railway, the circus tent was working.
In 1932, in connection with the 40th anniversary of the social and literary activity of Maxim Gorky, the park was named after the writer.
In 1943-1948, an exhibition of captured weapons was located on the territory of the park.
Aerobics, yoga and Latin American dance classes have been introduced. In autumn, book and design fairs are held here, as well as fairs of organic food and knitted children's clothing.
Central Park of Culture and Culture named after. M. Gorky became the first world-class park in Russia, a space for recreation, sports, dancing and games fresh air.
On August 23, 2012, the Moscow authorities chose the Central Park of Culture and Culture named after. M. Gorky and Sokolniki Park, for the creation of which it was planned to allocate some part of the territory.
Analogues of Hyde Park. In Gorky Park, the Hyde Park area was temporarily closed due to construction work cable line. Hyde Park reopened on July 1, 2013.

About changed and renewed Gorky Park— Central Park of Culture and Recreation — only the lazy didn’t write it. Only the lazy one probably wasn’t there, like me. But this Saturday we made up for lost time and visited the place of attraction for all of Moscow.
In 2005, I was probably in this park for the last time. With my sister who came to summer holidays to my grandmother, we set off to conquer Moscow. One of the points of conquest was Gorky Park, which was then filled with all kinds of attractions. We still managed to ride the old one, from the time Soviet Union, probably the unchanged Ferris wheel. The wheel creaked, puffed, and swayed, but from above there were beautiful views of Moscow.
Now there are no attractions left in the park, except for children's carousels, admission has become free and 24 hours a day, and there are so many possibilities around that it makes your eyes run wide.
The animals are coming
So, in the park you can:
Light and music fountain 
Homemade terrine and white wine 
Drinking alcohol in the park is prohibited, but they sell a variety of it on site - wine, cider, mulled wine, fruit beer mojitos, and, of course, beer itself. Prices vary: for a glass of wine they ask for 250 rubles, for a glass of mojito (three times the size) - something like two hundred. We were there on Saturday afternoon and until about seven in the evening, we didn’t see any drunks, except for one wedding, but there were a lot of positive people.
Nastic braided my hair (completely free of charge). Although you can do this in the park for money What were we doing? We sat on a bench under a tree and ate wok noodles, looked at the fountain and petanque, walked through the park and looked into all the interesting places, studied the food menu and tried macaroons and homemade terrine, washed down with white wine and mineral water.
Delicious noodles with turkey The people were rocking wooden chairs, lay on wicker mattresses and soft ottomans. By the way, the composition of people here has changed qualitatively. Physically, you can directly feel how friendly the park is towards you, how well you can rest, despite the people chewing, noisy, and playing around. This, by the way, is the main disadvantage for which, for example, the park does not like Nastic - crowds of people (and hipsters, says Nastya, but hipsters don’t annoy me - I’m probably already old and immune to their charms). On weekdays there may be fewer people, but in the evening, it seems to me, exactly the same crowds come. And it’s not surprising, for the greater Moscow, even ten such parks will not be enough - in terms of area, it is not so gigantic.
Berries to choose from and to go And that’s another reason why I’m so happy about the new Gorky Park - because we don’t have such a place in Posad at all, but we want it to be there. It's hard to imagine, but there is no park in the city. There is a “Wonder Park” where parents bring their children to go on rides and that’s it. Where to play sport games, where to ride bikes and rollerblades, where to lie in a hammock? Therefore, for now we can only dream of a friendly space, a place where we can relax ourselves and others, a park for everyone.
Before early XIX century, the territory now occupied by the Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure was located outside the city. Today it is the center of the capital, a favorite vacation spot for Muscovites.
In this calm and picturesque place, located on the banks of the Moscow River, everyone will find a sparsely populated corner where you can hide from the noise and bustle of the city, take a boat ride or stroll along the alleys of the Neskuchny Garden.
Once upon a time, on this land there was the estate of Prince Trubetskoy, which was famous not only for its majestic buildings, but also botanical garden, where Moscow's high society enjoyed spending time.
In 1923, the All-Russian Agricultural Exhibition was held next to this garden. It was at this time that it was decided to create an “Open Air Culture Combine” on the territory of the exhibition, Vorobyovy Gory and Neskuchny Garden. This is how the first park of the Soviet period appeared, which was intended to organize leisure time for the population, conduct political, educational, cultural and educational work.
In March 1928, the Moscow government decided to create a Central Park of Culture and Recreation on the territory of the former All-Russian Agricultural Exhibition. For this purpose, a construction commission was created, which received many proposals from citizens. Some believed that this park should be equipped with everything necessary for recreation. “The central green area should be given to athletes!” - others argued. There were many opinions. Someone wanted the city's Central Park to be the venue for music competitions and concerts. Muscovites not only heatedly discussed what it would be like, but also created it with their own hands. During cleanup days, they broke paths, dismantled unnecessary buildings, compacted areas, uprooted tree stumps, etc.
The park was officially opened in August 1928. The capital's newspapers the day before (August 11, 1928) invited all citizens here. They reported that on the opening day, entrance to the park would be free, and then the cost would be 10 kopecks. In addition, season tickets were issued, the price of which was 50 kopecks.
The opening became an event of international scale. Nowhere in the world has a park been created for workers. The central cultural and entertainment complex attracted the attention of the foreign press.
Moscow constructivist K. Melnikov was appointed the chief architect of the structure being created. He came up with the idea of the ground floor layout, which has survived to this day. It replaced the one that was designed by architect I.V. Zholtovsky during preparations for the All-Russian Exhibition.
Melnikov planned to install a fountain in the center of the stalls, in which, according to him, the architecture should be formed by jets of water. His project was not realized. In the mid-thirties, on the site that Melnikov allocated for its construction, a fountain of a completely different nature was created, designed by the architect A.V. Vlasov.
The name of this woman is written in golden letters in the history of the park. Betty Glahn was its first director (1929-1937). This time is often called the park's "golden era" by historians. In the twenties, it was often called nothing more than a “cultural plant for the remaking of consciousness.”
In 1929, reconstruction of the park continued. Architect Rodrigo Dacosta (Brazil) restored the Handicraft Department pavilion (current administration), and a sound cinema was placed in it. It became truly legendary and the most popular in Moscow and worked until the war, but a bomb destroyed it in 1942.
Many attractions have appeared in the park. Particularly popular was the 35-meter parachute tower with a spiral descent, located near the Moscow River. Visitors slid down it using special mats.
The main part of the attractions was located between the Hexagon and the Hexagon Pavilion - a restaurant with tables around a fountain in the courtyard. The park regularly hosted a wide variety of events. Increasingly, the central park was called a “cultural complex”, “green university”, “promoter of a new way of life”, “weekend school”, etc.
Under the leadership of Betty Glahn, he became known throughout the world and became a symbol of the new socialist state.
In 1937, Betty was arrested following her husband. She spent seventeen long years in the camps, but survived and was rehabilitated in 1954. After her release, she worked for a long time in the Composers' Union. The book of her memoirs was published in 1988. In 2008, when Gorky Central Park celebrated its 85th anniversary, Betty Glahn's book was republished once again.
Muscovites immediately fell in love with this park. The central garden and park complex of the city became their favorite vacation spot. Gradually, Leninskaya Square, the Bolshoi and Maly theaters, a children's playground, "Spiral Descent" (attraction), etc. began to appear here.
A military town and a symphonic stage were created in Neskuchny Garden, and a “Corner of Silence” was created in Golitsyn Park. The Hunting and Vanny lodges turned into tea-snack bars - “Samovarnik” and “Float”. The southern part of Neskuchny Garden (behind Andreevsky Ravine) was set aside as a one-day recreation town. Here, in addition to the residential building, there was its own park with paths, lawns and flower beds, dance and physical training grounds, a music and cinema stage, a reading room and various attractions.
As already mentioned, the project for the development of this wonderful park area, stretching for seven kilometers along the Moscow River, was developed by a group of architects led by avant-garde artist K. S. Melnikov. It should be noted that the layout has been preserved almost in its original form to this day.
The huge Triumphal Gate is the entrance to the park from the side. There is also an entrance from the embankment (at Andreevsky Bridge), as well as from Leninsky Prospekt. Central Park covers an area of 109 hectares. It can be divided into two zones - Boring Garden and ground floor. The center of the latter is decorated with a magnificent musical fountain, where Muscovites and guests of the capital like to relax. There are many small fountains throughout the area.
An impressive part of the park’s territory is occupied by Golitsinsky ponds (half a hectare) and several smaller reservoirs, which are surrounded by rose gardens and flower beds. Golitsynsky pond can be divided into two parts: on one of them swans and ducks swim all summer, the second part is intended for riding catamarans and boats.
In the west of the park is located which was built in 1928 and reconstructed in the late sixties. Today, various concerts and competitions are held here. Behind it begins Pushkinskaya Embankment and the magnificent Neskuchny Garden. The park has free Wi-Fi, excellent bike paths, Panda Park for children, playgrounds and much more interesting things.
Today Muscovites, Russian and foreign tourists enjoy visiting Gorky Park. The central cultural and entertainment complex of the capital attracts people with its magnificent landscape and a wide variety of entertainment for both children and adults.
From Pushkinskaya Embankment you can go on an exciting three-hour journey along the Moscow River on the Radisson Royal Moscow yacht. The summer cinema "Pioneer" operates outdoors. Here you can watch famous Soviet films.
Central Park (Moscow) retains its sporting orientation, laid down during the years of its creation, today. There is a running center here and yoga classes are held. Table tennis lovers will love the Ping Pong Park, and the modern one with a professional surface meets European standards. There are fields for beach volleyball and football. In the park you can rent a velomobile or roller skates, a scooter or a bicycle and other sports equipment.
Many Muscovites eagerly await the opening of the Gorky Skating Rink every year. artificial ice and luxurious lighting. It operates from November to March. It should be noted that the coating can withstand even positive temperatures. This is the largest skating rink in Europe - its area is eighteen thousand square meters.
Fans of extreme sports will appreciate the artificial slide for snowboarders. This is the largest such structure in the world. It is built according to unique project. The route consists of areas for beginner snowboarders and experienced craftsmen. The artificial surface allows the slide to operate all winter.
The park is home to the Garage, a center of modern culture. Its main task is to promote contemporary art. The pavilion regularly hosts displays of experimental works by emerging artists and exhibitions, film screenings and lectures.
Today there are no rides in the park; they were dismantled in 2011. Instead of them there were many interesting places for kids. One of them is “Green School”. Here kids get acquainted with the heroes of children's cartoons and fairy tales; a club with the funny name “Malysh” has opened its doors for them.
Older children will be interested in visiting a mini-zoo or a squirrel farm. Here you can feed the animals with treats purchased from special machines.
Teenagers enjoy visiting the People's Observatory, which was founded in 1929. It was reconstructed and today again welcomes visitors. The observatory dome rotates 360 degrees. It has a telescope that magnifies celestial bodies 840 times. The observatory hosts free lectures by leading employees of the main planetarium in Moscow.
There are a great many such establishments in the park. For example, in the restaurant by the river “Seasons” you can taste delicious dishes of Russian and European cuisine (black cod fillet, for example). At the Pelman cafe you will be offered a portion of aromatic hot dumplings with fillings for every taste. For lovers of light desserts, we recommend going to the Fruit Bar, where you will be treated to an original fruit salad.
You can get to the wonderful entertainment complex from the Park Kultury metro station. The journey will take you no more than ten minutes.
Gorky Park in Moscow is the most visited park in the capital. On weekdays, 40 thousand people spend time here, on weekends and holidays - 250 thousand.

Before the revolution, the Orlovsky Meadow stretched on the site of the park. In the 19th century, cockfights, fist fights, horse races and races were held here. By the beginning of the 20th century, the territory was abandoned and turned into a landfill. In 1923, in preparation for the agricultural exhibition, the garbage was removed and the area was developed. The park was opened in 1928, but the process of its formation continued until the end of the 1930s. As already mentioned, the park acquired its modern appearance in 2011, and since then the territory has been continuously developing. Nowadays, festivals, concerts are held here, City Day, Victory Day are celebrated, New Year and other holidays, and in winter the skating rink is flooded.
