A unique urban space was created near the walls of the Kremlin on the site of the Rossiya Hotel demolished in 2006. Today "Zaryadye" opened for free visiting.

Both Muscovites and guests of the capital have only positive emotions. In the center of the park there is a birch grove and a philharmonic society. Not a single footpath is empty, despite the weekday. There are a lot of people. Several dozen people began to gather at the entrance an hour before the opening. More than a thousand people have visited the park so far. Some tour companies have included Zaryadye Park in their tourist routes.

- We were here in the winter, saw the construction site and did not expect that the construction would be completed so quickly.

- In the near future, we are unlikely to get into the tundra and the ice age - this is what bribed it.

Along the perimeter, the park is still fenced with a temporary fence, the entrance is from Vasilyevsky Spusk. This was done for security reasons due to the large influx of visitors. When the influx subsides, all fences will be removed.

Today, in honor of the opening of the park, all pavilions and attractions are free of charge. You can visit the attraction "Time Machine" in the media center, the exposition in the underground museum and science programs in the protected embassy.

A walk in Zaryadye Park turns into a trip across Russia. All climatic zones of the country are represented here.

- This wonderful world colors!

One landscape replaces another, and now you find yourself in the steppe - among sage and almonds. Even further birch grove, coniferous forest. More than 150 species of plants are collected in one place - many of them you will not find in the middle lane.

"We used alpine sapling and various varieties of sedum, which will give a very interesting color in summer and autumn. The stones were brought from Karelia, you can see lichens and mosses on their surface," says Igor Safiullin, head of the park and environmental department of the park " Zaryadye".

Zaryadye has already been named one of the the most complex projects. This is not just a park - it is a unique public space with flowering alleys, amphitheatres, cultural centers and a concert hall.

"The park was created to highlight and enhance the beautiful sound of historic Moscow," explains Sergey Kuznetsov, Moscow's chief architect.

To do this, all objects were integrated into the landscape of the park, creating the effect of a hilly terrain. For example, a garden was laid out on the roof of the Philharmonic Society and covered with a glass bark - under it there is a special microclimate.

“There are subtropical plants that require special care. There is special drip irrigation, irrigation from above, heated space,” explains Pyotr Kudryavtsev, developer of the architectural concept and sociocultural program of Zaryadye Park.

In Zaryadye, travel is possible not only in space, but also in time - the history of Russia from Kievan Rus to the present day comes to life in the media center. The viewer becomes a participant in the main events. The screen in this cinema is panoramic.

Even 10 years ago, no one could have imagined that a park would grow near the walls of the Kremlin. Instead of the Rossiya Hotel that stood here, they wanted to build a huge hotel and office complex, but this idea was abandoned. The empty lot reminded me of the failed plans for a long time, and now the trees are turning green here.

- It seems that you are in the city, but then you come in - and already in the park.

- I have a feeling that I'm not in Moscow - like on vacation!

Zaryadye is the name of the historical district of Moscow, which was settled in the 14th century. During the construction of the park, many archaeological finds were discovered. They are now part of the underground museum. Here is a fragment of the Kitay-Gorod wall, and customs seals, and coin treasures. Various puzzles and riddles will tell about all this on multimedia panels.

From underground to a height of 13 meters, this is the most popular place in the park. The floating bridge offers the best views of the capital. At the same time, more than 3 thousand people can be on this console 70 meters long.

The park is open to the public from 8 am to 11 pm, admission is free.

By its birthday, the city has noticeably changed. Streets have been repaired, new roads and interchanges have been built. The grandiose Zaryadye Park opens in the very center of the capital.

Muscovites and guests of the city received a lot of wonderful gifts for the anniversary of the capital of the country - new metro stations, renovated streets, and new interchanges, but Zaryadye Park, which begins its work on September 9, occupies a special place in this list.

From the opposite bank of the Moskva River, the entire park is in full view. An amazing island of silence, tranquility, nature in the very center of the modern metropolis. The “floating bridge” is clearly visible, which, as it were, protrudes over the Moscow River, “floats” above it. This has not yet been built in the capital.

The main idea is to create a very special public space. Zaryadye Park combines the functions of a city park and a cultural and educational center.

It is important to note that the entrance to the Zaryadye Park is free, it works around the clock. To get into the park on September 9-10, you need an invitation card, but from Monday, September 11, it will open to everyone.

"Soaring" bridge over the river a stone's throw from the Kremlin - a new observation deck with stunning views. 13 meters above the surface of the water. From this point, the Kremlin ensemble, the central embankments, the Crimean bridge, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and, of course, Zaryadye itself open.

In general, this is not just a park - a cultural and educational center. Here, on 10 hectares, you can see the nature of the entire vast country. In the very heart of Russia there are over 180 plant species. Climatic zones: tundra - northern landscape with juniper and reindeer moss; steppe - grasses, fodder plants and cereals; coniferous forest, birch, mixed. Water meadows. Floodplain forest. Two ponds. And landscaping under glass bark. There is an ice cave in the northern part of the park. Pavilion replicating a natural glacier - all year round subzero temperature.

Attractions will appear in the media center of Zaryadye Park - also educational. Flight over Russia. See from above the Far East, Siberia, the Urals, the Far North, the Caucasus. Feel the breeze and raindrops on your face. Virtual reality with special effects.

Dome in the form of a wave - a large open amphitheater can accommodate up to two and a half thousand people. Near the building of the Philharmonic for one and a half thousand. The concert venue is scheduled to open in the spring of 2018. The scope is such that some facilities will be put into operation after the opening in stages.

By the way, there was already a concert hall at this place - in the hotel complex "Russia". It has been standing here since 1967. Four 12-storey buildings. In 2006, they began to dismantle. The hotel is outdated. But after, for six years, there was a wasteland behind a high fence. They discussed the construction of both an office center and a parliamentary one.

But in 2012, having arrived at Zaryadye, Vladimir Putin offered to breathe into the historical district new life- quite different.

"You know what I'm thinking now. After all, in the center of Moscow, over the past decades, almost all park facilities have been destroyed,” Vladimir Putin said.

“At least in the center there are the least of them in the city, there are practically none,” Sergei Sobyanin noted.

"Which Proposition. It is necessary to talk with the Moscow City Duma, discuss it with the Moscow government and consult with Muscovites. Perhaps a park area could be recreated here, right in the center of Moscow near the Kremlin,” Vladimir Putin said.

How to equip Zaryadye, hundreds of projects - architects and amateurs. Adults and even children with such unusual and touching layouts. Open competition. After choosing the winner, without exaggeration, a grandiose construction began: the most complex engineering solutions.

Interweaving of the present and the past. Together with the builders in Zaryadye, archaeologists worked side by side. Fragments of chain mail, ceramic dishes, birch bark letters, children's toys, silver coins 17th century British medallion of the 16th century.

What was in the land of the historical district will be in the museum showcases of the Zaryadye Park. An archaeological pavilion will open here at the entrance from the embankment. The new park connects pedestrian and tourist routes - from the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge to the Sparrow Hills.

Since 2013. This is the only new park in the center of Moscow created over the past 200 years. Vladimir Putin personally ordered to build a park, and not a hotel, and Mayor Sergei Sobyanin oversaw the process. Every long enough existing authoritarian regime has a desire to perpetuate its existence. Putin's era will be immortalized not by a gigantic skyscraper or a monument tens of meters high. It will be a park. The scale and location of the construction show that Zaryadye is the project of the century, a new export look for Moscow and Russia. They didn't spare money for it. The official cost of the park, according to the Moscow mayor's office, is 13 billion rubles, the sources of Vedomosti and "" claim that more than 25 billion have already been spent on the project and another 2.8 billion this year will be spent on the reconstruction of adjacent streets (for comparison: the official the cost of the Fisht stadium in Sochi is 23.5 billion rubles.

The concept of Zaryadye belongs to the American bureau Diller Scofidio + Renfro - the authors of the famous High Line in New York, hovering ten meters above the ground; Several honored Russian design organizations also took part in the development: Mosinzhproekt, Polyansky Moscow Institute of Arts and Sciences, Reserve Bureau, landscape designers Arteza, Citymakers and Strelka.

Zaryadye connects all pedestrian routes from Varvarka to Sparrow Hills, and for all its compactness (the park is half the size of Muzeon), every square centimeter should impress and surprise. All climatic zones of Russia are represented in the park - the microclimate will be maintained throughout the park all year round. The creators promise that the "Ice Cave" in the tundra will maintain sub-zero temperatures even in summer, and heat-loving vegetation North Caucasus will bloom under a glass dome in winter. However, this is still only in the plans: the plants need time to take root, and the cave is not yet working. A huge underground parking and a philharmonic hall for 1.5 thousand seats are also closed for the time being, but a media center with realistic flights over Moscow and the “Reserved Embassy” are already available - a huge florarium with hydroponics is arranged here.

The mayor of Moscow often states that the city should be convenient for residents. This year, at the invitation of the mayor's office, urbanist Jan Gale spoke in Moscow, who talked about the fact that in the city, first of all, it should be convenient for children and the elderly - then it will be convenient for everyone. Now it is impossible to carry baby or wheelchairs up steep stairs and paths with pebbles. It looked especially cynical on the opening day - families with children and people with handicapped. There is also no normal access to the museum, the “Reserved Embassy”, the amphitheater (with concerts and film screenings) - several steep flights of stairs can be overcome in only one way: take the stroller in your hands and carry it.

It seems that you can’t really find such an attraction in any world park, because if an elevator can still be called a luxury, then a ramp is not a multimedia screen - you don’t need a lot of mind and money to install it. There is no marking for the visually impaired in the park, but we generally remember this at the last moment. According to The Village’s source in the park’s administration, there really is a problem, and they simply didn’t have time to finish all the infrastructure for people with disabilities because of the emergency before the opening - the park was being completed 24/7 (how the preparation of the park for the opening looked, see ours) .

The mayor's office expects about 10 million people a year to visit Zaryadye, and the park will operate around the clock.

Zaryadye Park: opening

Zaryadye is the first new large park in the capital in almost 70 years. Its scale and complexity of engineering solutions are amazing. The area of ​​the park facilities is almost 78 thousand square meters. meters, of which 25.2 thousand "squares" will be occupied by a multifunctional concert hall. Zaryadye also built underground parking for 430 cars.

Zaryadye is the land behind the shopping arcade, not at all a respectable area. Merchants lived here, in 1812 everything burned down, and the place was built up. After 1826, Jews lived here, in the Glebovsky Compound, until they were evicted in 1891 by Alexander III. Over the years, the houses turned into slums, in the 1930s they began to be demolished.

The place was cleared for the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry, but after the death of People's Commissar Ordzhonikidze, the project was abandoned. After the war, it was decided to build the largest of Moscow skyscrapers here. The city was saved from it by the death of Stalin, but the most powerful concrete foundation remained. And in 1967, the same Dmitry Chechulin, who designed the skyscraper, built a hotel on this site. A model of the era of modernism, it closed the panorama of the ancient churches and chambers on Varvarka. Today, however, if you look at the park from the embankment, the churches are also not visible. But the territory of Zaryadye is available. For the first time since the 1930s.

The main feature of the park is that all its objects are “hidden” under the landscape. At the same time, the green space of Zaryadye will not be monotonous - the entire territory of the park has been divided into four climatic zones: forest, northern landscape, steppe and water meadows.

Another advantage of the new park is scenic view to the Kremlin, which Zaryadye visitors can admire from the “floating bridge” over the Moskva River. After a walk in the park, you can have fun on the rides - ride the "Time Machine" or go to the "Flight over Russia".

On September 9, the five-year period for the construction of Zaryadye Park ended: from the idea to the opening ceremony.

A feature of the project was, in particular, the restoration work on nine monuments of federal significance located in the park, such as the Chambers of the Romanov Boyars (a branch of the State Historical Museum), the Church of the Holy Trinity in Nikitniki, the churches of Blessed Maxim and George the Victorious and others. Thus, Zaryadye Park united old and new Moscow within its borders, thus confirming the historical logic and continuity of the city's development.

From now on, the park offers numerous attractions and installations, including “Flying over Moscow” and “Flying over Russia”, “Time Machine”, an ice cave, a philharmonic, Constructive decisions which allows to maintain a special microclimate and grow subtropical plants, at the same time turning it into a kind of botanical garden.

Moscow itself becomes an attraction (one of the the best views the city) and even a unique film set.

Vladimir Putin opened Zaryadye Park, which is located in the very center of the capital. The ceremony was attended by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

Schoolchildren from the capital, children from large families and pupils of boarding schools were the first to receive the right to visit. The park will open to other visitors on September 11.

“In 2012, you gave instructions to reorganize this abandoned area into a park. At one time there were different variants- the construction of a huge commercial center, they proposed to build a parliamentary center. Nevertheless, we made a decision that was supported almost 100% by Muscovites, because there have never been parks in the city center, on the streets within the Boulevard Ring,” the Moscow Mayor reported.

According to Sergei Sobyanin, a new comfortable space has now been created in the city center. At the same time, the park managed to be integrated with historical sites: the Patriarchal Metochion, churches and cathedrals.

Sergei Sobyanin stressed that Zaryadye is a unique park. “This is an educational and cultural space. Two large educational centers: the media center and the Ice Cave. The Reserve Embassy is also an educational center, a philharmonic society with 1,600 seats,” the Moscow Mayor specified.

Vladimir Putin thanked Sergei Sobyanin for the creation of the park. The President of Russia, together with the Mayor of Moscow, visited the media center, where they were shown a high-tech media complex with a panoramic screen and an interactive image on the floor. The film “Zaryadye Time Machine” was broadcast on the screen.

They also visited the large amphitheater with 1600 seats. The Head of State and the Mayor of Moscow also climbed a unique floating bridge, which has become one of the largest observation platforms in Moscow overlooking the Kremlin.

After touring the park, Vladimir Putin and Sergei Sobyanin visited the Zaryadye cafe, where a lunch was held for schoolchildren from the capital, children from large families and boarding schools, who were the first to receive an invitation to visit Zaryadye.

Ideas and projects

It was decided to create Zaryadye Park in 2012. Its appearance on the most expensive and commercially attractive plot of land in the city center is an alternative to the hotel and business development project with an area of ​​about 400,000 square meters. Such a project would lead to a transport collapse around the Kremlin. They also refused to place a complex of buildings of the parliamentary center on this territory.

Citizens' proposals were collected on what the park should be like. Many of these ideas were later used in the development of terms of reference for the participants in the architectural competition.

In 2013, an international competition was held to create a landscape and architectural concept for Zaryadye. 90 associations of architects and designers from 27 countries participated. The winner was a consortium led by the American bureau Diller Scofidio + Renfro, which proposed to reflect the diversity of the Russian flora. In order to realize the project, it was necessary to apply innovative and building technologies, resort to complex architectural and landscape solutions.

Construction of the park began in 2014. By the spring of 2015, the dismantling of the underground part of the former Rossiya Hotel was completed. They removed 375,000 cubic meters of concrete structures, which can be compared with the volume of three Luzhniki sports arenas.

In August last year, we finished concrete the site of the park. In total, 121 thousand cubic meters of concrete were laid (one sports arena "Luzhniki"). This was necessary because the park is located on the roof of a large underground car park. At the same time, they carried out a vertical layout of the park and backfilling (250,000 cubic meters). For the first time in the practice of construction in the city center, part of the soil was brought by water - by barges along the Moscow River. Since the autumn of last year, plants have been planted.

In parallel, the capital structures of the park were erected. Their total area is 83.6 thousand square meters. This is almost three times smaller than the Rossiya Hotel, which was located on this site. Most of the pavilion areas and parking are hidden underground.

The main work was completed by the City Day - the 870th anniversary of Moscow. This is a short time frame for a construction project of this magnitude. Five thousand people worked there around the clock every day. IN next year open a concert hall.

The park is expected to be visited by ten million people a year. Zaryadye will be the largest recreational area, an important tourist attraction, and a new symbol of Russia. It can become the standard for the development of parks in the country.

Zaryadye Park is a new symbol of Moscow and Russia

Zaryadye occupies a relatively small area - only 10.2 hectares. It has a multi-level landscape, a rich botanical collection and media complexes that have no analogues in Russia. There will also be scientific and educational programs.

The park was created as a place of peace and tranquility in the city center. Cultural heritage objects coexist with innovative architecture. The pavilions are hidden under the landscape. This made it possible, on the one hand, to open panoramic views, and on the other hand, to create an entertainment and educational infrastructure.

There are no fences or curbs here. Absolutely all citizens, including pensioners and people with limited mobility, will easily get into the park.

The park is fully equipped automated system drip irrigation, drainage systems rainwater collection and vacuum waste disposal system. Each area has its own lighting modes. Technologies for taking into account seasonal factors and time of day help to reduce energy consumption.

"Flight", "Time Machine" and other key objects of "Zaryadye"

At the entrance to the park from the side of Vasilyevsky Spusk there is an information pavilion "Dome". In its arch there are numerous QR codes with information about the history of the creation of the park. Access can be obtained using tablets with special programs.

The main pavilion is a media center with an area of ​​8.5 thousand square meters. There are five Moscow Now information kiosks (there are 19 in total in the park), Polet and Time Machine media complexes, a flagship tourist information center, showroom, media studio, souvenir and gift shop. There are also cloakrooms, halls and mother and child rooms. The cafe will open before the end of this year.

Information kiosks will tell guests about the features of the park and the area, the program of events. In the future, it will be possible to purchase tickets for the "Flight" and "Time Machine", to the underground museum and to the exhibition. Electronic ticketing and information processing system coming soon time will pass testing.

In the center of the lobby of the media center is the desk of the flagship tourist information center. Ten administrators will tell you what to do in the park and help you buy tickets. 12 screens have been installed in the center, which will broadcast information about upcoming events in the park, as well as videos with offers for tourists.

In the underground part there is a parking lot for 430 cars. It will be possible to put not only personal cars, but also tourist buses there. There are also places for people with limited mobility. 16 elevators will operate, thanks to which it will be possible to get to any of the pavilions. The parking lot will open within a month.

The Polet media complex is a unique cinema hall with a 13-meter-high screen and a movable platform with 39 seats. The eight-minute films “Flight over Moscow” and “Flight over Russia” (this winter) are waiting for guests here. During the show, they promise a real feeling of flight and special effects - water sprayers, wind, smoke and aroma generators will work. 195 people per hour will be able to use the attraction.

Another attraction, Time Machine, has a 360-degree panoramic screen with a diameter of 16.5 meters and a height of five meters. There is also an image on the floor. The media complex is equipped with 33 projectors and a 32-channel sound system. Viewers will not have to sit in chairs - they will be participants in the events taking place on the screen and learn about the history of the formation of Moscow from ancient times to the present day. "Time Machine" will be able to visit 180 people per hour. Companies such as Dynamic Attractions (Canada) and Kraftwerk (Austria) took part in the development of these two projects. They created the best rides in the world's leading parks.

The exhibition hall is located on the lower floor of the media center. It is intended for temporary exhibitions, which will last three to four months. The first such exhibition will be "Russian Arctic". Guests will be shown a collection of unique photographs late XIX- mid-20th century from the funds of the Russian Museum of Ethnography, works by artists and polar explorers created during expeditions, rare photo and video materials from the funds of the Russian Geographical Society, specially recreated household items of polar explorers and peoples of the North, and much more.

Media Studio is a creative laboratory with an area of ​​136 square meters. At the master classes, professionals will teach digital animation, public speaking, the basics of TV journalism, directing and editing, as well as blogging skills.

The second largest Zaryadye pavilion is the Reserved Embassy (3.3 thousand square meters). There is an Ice Cave themed center, a florarium, a scientific and educational center, a cafe, a souvenir shop and a bar.

The ice cave is located on the left side of the main entrance to the pavilion. This is a sub-zero temperature zone. Its area is one thousand square meters. Labyrinths, arches and columns covered with ice and illuminated by LEDs await guests. The temperature in the cave is about minus five degrees. About 70 tons of water were frozen to create the glacier.

Only the first stage of the creation of the ice cave has been completed. We made a part of the installation with ice, which serves as a frame. As part of the second stage, labyrinths and arches will be built. In summer, visitors will be offered warm blankets at the entrance. About 130 people per hour are expected to visit the cave. The author of the project is the artist Alexander Ponomarev.

The Florarium greenhouse complex is located in the hall of the pavilion. Over 30 species of various plants have been collected there, more than 500 specimens have been planted. The greenhouse uses aeroponic installations, which are used in space programs and breeding practice. They allow plants to be grown without soil. Engineering systems maintain the necessary humidity, air temperature and lighting regime for plants. Florarium will open soon.

The scientific and educational center "Reserved Embassy" can be reached through the hall surrounding the greenhouse. There will be experiments, interactive quests, lectures, seminars. The center consists of a conference hall for 48 seats, four classrooms and one laboratory (20 seats each).

The laboratory has climatic installations for growing plants in artificial conditions, thermostats, incubators for microbiology, centrifuges, devices for genetic analysis and much more. Analogues of such equipment are used in modern scientific centers.

Students will be able to participate in more than 50 programs in biotechnology, microbiology, genetics, medicine, ecology and geography. They are waiting for lectures, seminars and applied research.

Cultural heritage next to innovation

All historical sites have been preserved in Zaryadye. They can be seen by climbing the hill of the "Reserved Embassy" pavilion. From here you can see the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, the museums of the Patriarchal Compound.

An important place in domestic architecture is occupied by the Church of St. Barbara the Great Martyr, the chambers of the Old English Court, the Church of Maxim the Blessed, the Cathedral of the Znamensky Monastery and the bell tower, the chambers of the Romanov boyars, the Church of St.

New concert venue - in the heart of the capital

The park will have a world-class multifunctional concert venue with two halls and two amphitheaters with a total capacity of 3,960 people. The large amphitheater will have 1,600 seats. It will be located partly under the glass bark and in the open air. Concerts, festivals and other events will be held there. A small amphitheater for 400 seats will be built nearby.

The glass bark is the world's largest translucent structure without enclosing walls. Its area is 8.7 thousand square meters. During its construction, they used solar panels. It creates its own microclimate with elevated temperature.

Another element of the park landscape - an artificial hill - will hide the concert hall, covered with glass bark. It was created by Russian designers and builders according to the concept of engineers from Buro Happold.

The Philharmonic is planned to open next year. It will have two concert halls with transformable stalls. They are designed for 1960 seats (1560 in the large and 400 in the small). Acoustic testing was led by Yasuhisa Toyota, president of Nagata Acoustics. He has designed the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Richard Fisher Center in New York and many others.

From a floating bridge to an underground museum

One of the sights of Zaryadye will be a floating bridge - an observation deck over the Moscow River. This is the most complex 70-meter structure that connects the park with the river. It is a flying console without supports and supporting structures at a height of 15 meters above the water. The total length of the bridge is 244.4 meters. From here you can enjoy panoramic views of the Kremlin, the Moskva River embankment and the park itself.

Under the bridge on the lower embankment of the Moskva River, recreation areas near the water, a cafe, a souvenir shop and a river bus stop appeared. On the right is an underground passage that leads directly to the park, where the Zaryadye underground museum is located. It was created on the basis of artifacts found in Kitai-Gorod and Zaryadye. Guests will be shown a fragment of the Kitai-Gorod wall of the 16th century, white-stone cannonballs, customs seals (Russian and Western European), coin treasures, tiles, samples of ancient Russian footwear - boots with stacked heels, a falcon hood, children's clay toys.

Ancient maps and plans will come to life thanks to modern multimedia and interactive technologies. Through the glass floor of the museum, everyone will be able to see a section of the ancient Velikaya Street - the main street of Zaryadye, which began at the Kremlin walls and led to the embankment. They will also show a 3D model of a birch bark, which scientists from the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences discovered in Zaryadye in 2015. In the entire history of archaeological research in Moscow, only three such letters have been found, and this one is the fourth.

Gastronomic journey through Russia

Cafe "Zaryadye" is located to the left of the floating bridge. Eight gourmet stations will serve dishes according to cuisine recipes Russian regions.

Journey through the natural areas of Russia

Four natural zones of Russia were reproduced in the park: the northern landscape, meadows, steppe, middle lane(mixed, coniferous and coastal forest, birch grove). Each of these zones has its own soil, characteristic of a particular region. Birches, for example, were brought from the Perm Territory. It was not easy to create in Moscow the steppe that exists on the black earth. Therefore, for this zone, loam with the addition of crushed lime was used to obtain an alkaline reaction in the soil and good drainage, which steppe plants need. On the roof of the "Reserved Embassy" pavilion there is a wet tundra. From plants - shrub willow, cedar dwarf and others.

More than one million green spaces have been planted in Zaryadye, including 760 trees, seven thousand shrubs, 860 thousand perennials and 150 thousand annuals. Of the rare here - arcto-alpine shrub willows, feather grass, arctic raspberry, dwarf birch. There are plants listed in the Red Book of Moscow - this is thyme (thyme), kupena, lily of the valley, eryngium, bathing suit, carnation-grass.

For planting the botanical collection - and this is more than one million green spaces - light soil mixtures were used, the country's leading plant growers worked here. Specially created soils reduced the load on the concrete structures of the facilities. Thanks to the design, the benches seem to grow out of the ground.

In the central part of the park there are lawns for walking and recreation (mowed lawn with paths), plantations of cereals (urchin, timothy, fescue) and flowering herbs (chamomile, cornflower, bluebell, white clover). In this place the meadow merges with the birch grove and the steppe.

In the southern part of the park, near the embankment of the Moscow River, a coastal landscape was created. It is based on trees that existed in the park about 80 years ago: lindens, maples, oak. In the ponds, aquatic and coastal plants were planted, which are typical for water bodies near Moscow. The ground cover next to them creates the image of wet meadows. The coastal forest consists of several main species - willow, bird cherry and viburnum. To the right of the Voskhod restaurant is a zone of coniferous forest, which consists mainly of spruces and pines. Some of the plants will sprout in the spring.

Now in some places of the park rolled lawns are laid. This is temporary: the fact is that the perennials planted under them must be protected from the winter cold.

The park also created:

— themed glades are illuminated places equipped with temporary art installations;

— severnaya polyana - a local area within the zone of northern landscapes;

— the promenade is a long linear zone that leads from the ice cave to the Zaryadye cafe.

The length of the road and path network of the park is eight kilometers (1.8 kilometers with heating). In addition, 460 lanterns and 256 benches were installed.

The new look of the streets around Zaryadye

As part of the My Street program, in 2016 and 2017, the streets adjacent to the Kremlin and Zaryadye Park, including the Patriarchal Compound, were improved. total area landscaping - 32.3 hectares.

These include, in particular:

— Moskvoretskaya embankment (length - one kilometer);

— Varvarka street (0.7 kilometers);

— Exchange Square (0.1 kilometers);

— Old Square (0.5 kilometers);

— Fish Lane (0.2 kilometers);

— Bogoyavlensky Lane (0.3 km).

The total length is four kilometers.

On these streets, new asphalt was laid on the roads, sidewalks were paved with granite. Updated the lighting system. Installed navigation steles for pedestrians.

Drainage networks were reconstructed, rain inlets were installed. Air cable lines transferred to a specially arranged cable duct and cable channels.

The central element of Birzhevaya Square will be a fountain with a flat round bowl. During the work, archaeological finds were discovered here, including fragments of white stone and brickwork ancient buildings. Necessary measures have been taken to preserve them. Trees will be planted in the square in autumn.
