Cherkizovsky Forest Park, Moscow Oblast, A park in Russia
Cherkizovsky Forest Park is a protected forest area in the Pushkinsky Urban District that spans large spaces filled with trees and natural vegetation. Walking paths wind through the woods, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves and grass.
Cherkizovsky Park took shape in 1895, when the Tarasovka railway station opened beside the village of Cherkizovo. Wealthy merchants and factory owners built summer cottages in the pine forest north of the village, laying out paths, playgrounds and pools on the Klyazma. In the early 20th century the western edge held the cemetery of the Pokrovskaya Church, built with funds from local factory owners.
The area has no large roads or buildings, making it a quiet place for walking. Visitors should bring their own food and drinks, as there are few facilities.
Part of the western side of the park was used in the early 20th century as a cemetery for the Pokrovskaya Church, built with funds from local factory owners. The church building still stands within the park grounds.
