It is a great modern park, intresting and nicely designed. We were here at june, the park was flowering and sunny, we were lucky to have about 26 c. degree, so it waswarm and nice. On the Viki The area of the park's facilities is almost 78,000 square meters, of which 25,200 square meters is occupied by a multipurpose concert hall. The park also has underground parking for 430 cars. The first new park in Moscow for over 50 years, it cost more than $480 million.[4]
Plans for a new park were first raised in 2012 when the city of Moscow and its chief architect Sergey Kuznetsov organized a design competition to transform the historically privatized, commercial Zaryadye area into a public park. An international design consortium led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) with Hargreaves Associates, Citymakers and BuroHappold Engineering was selected out of 90 submissions from 27 different countries. The selected competition design sought to create a park borne of Russian and Muscovite heritage.
The main feature of the park is its facilities hidden under the landscape while the park itself is divided into four climatic zones: forest, steppe, tundra, and the floodplains.
Another advantage of the new park is a picturesque view of the Kremlin, which visitors can enjoy from a floating bridge over the Moskva River.
Floating bridgeEdit
The floating bridge is a thin air structure in the form of the letter "V" with a large outward extension above the water. It towers over the embankment and seems to hover over the Moscow River.
The bridge is unique in Russia: it is a 70 meter structure without a single support. The bearing structure of the bridge is made of concrete, and the decorative elements are made of metal. The deck is wooden; the construction withstands a load of 240 tons corresponding to three to four thousand people.
For the security of visitors and residents, high fences are installed so that no one can climb or jump over the sides...

The plant life in these areas is carefully curated, allowing visitors to experience a miniature version of Russia’s vast ecosystems. Walking through the park feels like a journey through the country’s natural beauty.

Read moreToday our experience at the restaurant was awful. We reserved a table for 10 persons with anticipation for my birthday party with my 3 kids and relatives. The waitress (Anna Maksimova) was totally out of line - unrespectful, very lazy, we ordered wine and drinks- she brought them and left them on the table near, so we wait for 15 min to get them. When we asked her to leave at least bottles of water on the table she told us that she is not our “servant” she was very aggressive and out of line. We asked manager (Aleksandr) to change her. He did it. But then the waitress returned and started to threaten us in front of my kids and parents! After that we again asked manager not to let her near our table. Then the waitress started to take pictures of us! OMG it was really scary and crazy. After all we paid our bill 37000 rub and received just apologize from general manager Sergey but our evening was totally ruined. Hope that this review will help to change the situation with personal...
