Ambulatorny pond, reservoir in Russia
Ambulatorny pond is a small reservoir near Moscow's airport area, surrounded by maintained green spaces and walking paths. It has a gently curved shoreline with concrete-reinforced banks for sitting, framed by trees and shrubs that create a quiet setting.
The pond was created in the 19th century when a stream connected to the Tarakanowka River was dammed. Its name comes from a nearby lane associated with a medical clinic for veterans, though the lane was later renamed while the pond kept its original name.
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.
