Sergei Sobyanin on parks and public gardens landscaping in 2023

Half of Moscow’s area is occupied by natural habitats, including parks and public gardens, about 80 more of such recreation grounds were renovated in the capital during the year, Sergei Sobyanin writes on his Telegram channel.

For instance, a remarkable large-scale project to improve the Yauza Park is almost over, being completed by 90 per cent. This year, utility providers have set eco-trails with observation decks, running and cycling routes, a summer stage, children’s and sports grounds.

“They put the Dolgiye Prudy Park in order, arranged places with sun loungers and built playgrounds and sports grounds closer to residential buildings. In the floodplains of the Zhuzha, Shmelyovka and Kuznetsovka rivers, new comfortable green areas have been created for walks, picnics, playing with children and doing sports,” noted the Moscow Mayor.

Work was also done on the border between the Voikovsky and Koptevo districts to landscape three public gardens at a time, namely, Staropetrovsky garden and two more on Clara Zetkin and Koptevskaya Streets.

This year, they have also bettered the area near Konkovskiye Ponds and Borovsky Park and renovated public gardens on 800-Letiya Moskvy Street in Eastern Degunino and near the Our Lady of the Sign Church in Khovrino.
