Gorky Park

Gorky Park is a hugely popular public park, sprawling across 300 acres along the Moskva river.

The park was established in 1928 and was actually the first of it's kind in Russia. Over the years it was developed greatly into a fun centre for kids and the public, consisting of amusement rides, cafes, stalls, advertisement banners and so on. The park was majorly transformed in 2011. Today, the park has once again become the vibrant centre of life in the capital city. The transformation undertaken by Sergei Kapkov saw demolition of amusement rides, ad banners, small stalls, cafes and all unnecessary and crowding features of the park. All the monuments of the park were renovated and a proper ice skating rink was opened for the public. The numerous ponds in the park were extensively cleaned and are maintained regularly and many splendid lawns and flowerbeds were laid to enhance the natural beauty of the park. All these renovations have meant that the park subscribes to international standards of large public parks and is an absolute favourite place among the locals for recreational activities.
