Bibirevo ethnographic village, Ethnographic park in Bibirevo District, Moscow, Russia.
Bibirevo ethnographic village is a recreational park featuring traditional Russian architectural elements set along the Chermyanka River. The grounds include wooden bridges, an amphitheater, children's playgrounds, and designated areas for picnicking spread throughout the landscape.
The land once held the settlement of Podushkino as a village community. In 2004, the swampy area was transformed into a structured park that preserves traditional elements from its rural past.
A chapel dedicated to Saints Anthony and Theodosius of Kiev-Pechersk stands within the grounds, representing the spiritual traditions that shaped this area. The wooden structures and village layout reflect how people once lived and organized their communities here.
The park is laid out along the river with pathways for walking and distinct zones for different activities. Visiting in the morning or on weekends allows for a more relaxed experience and better appreciation of the green spaces.
The park was entirely rebuilt from a neglected swampy area into a functioning recreational space, with careful attention to detail visible throughout. This transformation shows how urban development can bring forgotten places back to life while keeping local history alive.
