Радуга, Urban park in Veshnyaki district, Moscow, Russia
Raduga Park is an urban park in Moscow's Veshnyaki district that spans across two ponds connected by a dam bridge along local streets. The layout centers on these water features and the green areas surrounding them.
The park takes its name from the arc formed by its cascade of ponds, visible from high above. The Bolshoy and Maly Grafskiye ponds, covering 5.4 and 1.1 hectares, are separated by a dam bridge. In 2014 the park became part of Perovsky Park of Culture and Leisure, and from 2026 it is to be included in Terletsky Park.
The park's name comes from the arc formed by its cascade of ponds, visible from high above. Since 2014 it has been part of Perovsky Park of Culture and Leisure, and from 2026 of Terletsky Park. An outdoor stage hosts neighbourhood events, and in April 2011 a city subbotnik planted over 200 trees, firs and birches here.
The park lies between Veshnyakovskaya and Yunosti streets, with its northern edge along Zhemchugovoy alley. Paved walking and cycling paths cross the grounds, and a running track has a special surface; in winter a ski trail is laid out. Sports equipment can be rented on site.
The park's name means Rainbow and refers to the shape of its cascading pond system. The water comes entirely from natural groundwater sources and surface runoff without artificial pumping.
