Upper Kolomensky Pond, pond in Moscow, Russia
Upper Kolomensky Pond is a small rectangular reservoir in Moscow's Kolomenskoe district with a surface area of about 0.1 hectares. The pond is surrounded by neat grass lawns and trees including round-shaped willows, with concrete edges and well-kept smooth banks that make it easy to walk around.
The pond was created around 1980 as a decorative addition to the area. It is located along the Kolomensky stream within the larger Kolomenskoe preserve, which has historical connections to royal estate gardens and traditional leisure spaces.
The pond's name comes from the Kolomensky stream that flows through the area. It serves as a natural gathering point where locals pause during their daily walks and families spend time near the water.
The area is accessible on foot or by bicycle year-round. In winter the pond freezes over, making it usable for cold-weather activities, while warmer months are ideal for walking and picnicking around the water.
The pond sits on the left bank of the Kolomensky stream as one of two water bodies positioned side by side in this section. Visitors often notice mist rising from the surface in early mornings, especially as sunlight breaks through the trees.
