Tallinsky Park, Park in Moscow, Russia.
Tallinsky Park covers 20 hectares on the Moskva River embankment along Guryanova Street in Moscow's Pechatniki district. Its wide esplanade holds the "Chaika" and "Parusnik" compositions recalling the city's port past, and a silhouette of historic buildings reproduces Tallinn's skyline. Sand and natural stone surfaces, pines and junipers evoke a Baltic landscape; there are also a roller rink, a velodrome and a mobile ice rink.
The park opened on 9 May 2005 as "Square of 60 Years of Victory", with a memorial sign marking the date. In early 2013 Moscow decided to rebuild it as Tallinsky Park, fulfilling a cooperation agreement with Tallinn, which was to create a Moscow Park in return. Landscaping work continued into 2016.
The park's name comes from Moscow's 2013 cooperation agreement with Tallinn: each capital was to lay out a park named after the other city, and Tallinn was to create a Moscow Park in return. The esplanade on the Moskva River holds the compositions "Chaika" and "Parusnik", recalling the city's port past, while a silhouette of historic buildings reproduces the look of Tallinn.
The park is easily accessible via Moscow's public transit system with multiple bus and metro stops nearby, offering parking facilities for private vehicles, designated bike lanes for cyclists, restrooms, small cafes, and picnic spots.
