Ambulatorny pond, reservoir in Russia

Ambulatorny pond is a one-hectare water body in Moscow's Aeroport district, lying between Usievicha, Aseeva, Samada Vurguna and Chasovaya streets. Its rectangular northern section dates from 1935, when the southern part was filled in. The surrounding 2.7-hectare park, renewed in 2021, has a promenade, floating fountains and birdhouses.

The pond's origin is not documented: it appears on no map before 1926, and only on the 1927 plan are its full outlines shown. It formed when a stream, the source of the Tarakanovka River and now enclosed in a pipe, was dammed. In 1935 the southern part was filled in and the remaining northern section given a rectangular shape. The name comes from Ambulatorny Lane, named after an outpatient clinic; its surviving stretch is now Samad Vurgun Street.

The pond's name comes from a nearby lane that once referenced a medical facility. Today, local residents use the area for casual walks and rest, especially watching waterfowl and birds that gather here throughout the year.

The pond is easily accessible by local transit and near several residential areas. Visitors will find benches for sitting, walking paths around the water, and can visit anytime during daylight to watch light shimmer on the surface or observe seasonal changes.

The water is sometimes decorated with floating fountains that add a special visual charm to the setting. In winter, the pond freezes over and transforms into a winter scene that looks completely different from its summer appearance.
