Urban vegetable gardens have sprung up in parks — welcoming places where anyone can learn how to grow vegetables. And for those wishing to play sports, grounds have been created where regular training sessions and competitions are held.

“We do our best to make the summer in the city interesting, varied and healthy,” concluded the Mayor of Moscow.
