Yasny Pond, reservoir in Russia
Yasny Pond is a water body in Moscow's South Medvedkovo district, northwest of the Yasny and Dezhnyov passages intersection, between houses 1 and 5 on Yasny Passage. It is oval, stretched southward, 110 metres long and up to 65 metres wide, with an area of 0.8 hectares. Its banks are concreted and reinforced with a vertical wall, grass slopes line the shore, and crack willows grow along the southeastern bank.
Yasny Pond lies on the course of a vanished left tributary of the Chermyanka River, and takes its name from Yasny Proezd. In 2005 the pond was completely drained and its bottom cleaned. In 2017 it was improved: the water was cleaned, new trees, shrubs and flower beds were planted along the banks, and the lawn was restored.
The pond takes its name from the nearby Yasny Proezd street and serves as a place for everyday relaxation for local residents. People use the space for walking, sitting on benches, and watching the water, particularly in the evenings as the sun sets.
