Krasny Pond, pond in Izmaylovsky Forest Park, Moscow, Russia

Krasny Pond is an elongated pond on the Red Stream in Izmaylovo Forest Park, Moscow. It widens in the north and narrows in the south into a marshy delta; its banks are low, with an oak grove on the east, a birch grove below the dam in the north, and linden thickets in the west. The pond is about 375 metres long along the stream's arc and 360 metres in a straight line.

Krasny Pond lies in the Izmailovo Forest Park, fed by the Krasny Stream. Until the 1970s its northern bank was natural, with a clearing and a bridge carrying the road from Tsarskaya Paseka west to Izmailovo Park. The pond was then several times smaller: its entire southern half was an overgrown marsh on the stream.

Krasny Pond lies in the Izmailovo Forest Park, in the course of the Red Stream, with its northern end widening and its southern end narrowing into a marshy delta. The banks are low and overgrown: an oak grove on the east, a birch grove below the dam in the north, lindens in the west, and boggy islets with low willows, violets and sedge in the delta. The water runs roughly 375 m along the stream's arc, about 360 m in a straight line.

The pond's name comes from the Red (Tsar's) Court that stood nearby, not from the water's colour. Until the 1970s the northern shore was natural, with a clearing and a bridge carrying the road from Tsarskaya Paseka west to Izmailovsky Park. The southern half was then an overgrown marsh on the Red Stream, so the pond was several times smaller than today.
