Olympic village park

Olympic Village Park is a large public green space in Moscow with four artificial ponds connected by pathways and surrounded by extensive landscaping. The park contains exercise areas, walking routes, and dense vegetation throughout its grounds.

The park was built in 1978 as Moscow prepared to host the Summer Olympics in 1980, creating recreational space for athletes staying in the adjacent Olympic Village. Its development was tied directly to the city's expansion for this major international event.

The Alexander Nevsky Church within the park grounds is a place of worship and visual landmark that draws visitors from different backgrounds who come to spend time in this spiritual space.

The park offers a cycling track and a dedicated running path that converts to cross-country skiing trails during winter. Visitors should plan their activity based on the season and current weather conditions.

The park's four ponds feature water fountains and reinforced concrete shorelines that serve as stages for outdoor concerts and community gatherings. These water features create an unexpected cultural meeting point within the green space.
