Tushinsky nature park, Protected natural area in Yuzhnoye and Severnoye Tushino Districts, Moscow, Russia.
Tushinsky Nature Park is a protected area in southern and northern Tushino districts in Moscow that contains various types of woodland, open spaces, and habitats for local animals. The site spans across several kilometers and combines natural landscapes with the surrounding city.
The area underwent major transformation during the 1960s building boom, when former villages of Petrovo and Zakharkovo were converted into residential neighborhoods. The park was later established as a protected zone to preserve remaining natural areas within the expanding city.
The park serves as a gathering place where local residents spend time outdoors and participate in seasonal activities. Families enjoy walking the paths and gathering in open areas throughout the year.
The park is most easily reached by metro: Skhodnenskaya station is within walking distance, and Trikotazhnaya MCD station also provides direct access. Visit during warmer months for the best conditions, when paths are dry and plant life is most visible.
The area contains the Skhodnya River valley and Butakovsky Bay, two striking geological features that shape the landscape. These water formations create distinct scenery and are popular spots for visitors to explore.
