Zaryadye Park was opened in 2017 near Red Square and the walls of the Moscow Kremlin. Creating a Park in this place was an important decision to create a new comfortable space for recreation in the center of a large metropolis. Immediately after opening, it became popular not only among tourists, but also residents of Moscow.
Zaryadye Park was created according all the trends of modern landscape architecture, and only Galitsky Park in Krasnodar can compare with them in this point. The main idea of this Park was to create four climatic zones that exist in greater Russia: birch and coniferous forests, steppe, tundra and water meadows. Plants, shrubs, and trees typical of these areas are planted in these zones.
Zaryadye is the name of one of the oldest districts of Moscow, which was formed near the walls of the Moscow Kremlin, so in the middle of the modern landscape design of Zaryadye Park, 5 churches of the 17th and 19th centuries have been preserved. The English courtyard was also preserved here. It is one of the oldest white-stone buildings in Moscow. It was built in the hipped roof style in 1553, under rule of Tsar Ivan the Terrible.
A 140-meter arc was built over the Moscow river, which was called the "Floating Bridge". It has become a magnificent viewing platform that offers a beautiful view of the Moscow Kremlin, the Moscow-river and the Stalin high-rise building.
The pride of Zaryadye Park is a huge outdoor Summer Theater in the form of an amphitheater with a glass roof going down the hill. The Zaryadye Concert Hall is also located at the base of the hill, but it is already in enclosed space. There is also a Zaryadye Museum, as well as an Ice cave.
