Ul'yanovskiy Lesopark

Ul'yanovskiy Lesopark is a protected forest park in the Novomoskovsky district with the Likova and Zimenka rivers forming its western and eastern boundaries. The area features pine and spruce forests crossed by dedicated paths for recreation.

The forest park was established in 1935 as part of Moscow's protective green belt system. It gained special environmental protection status in 2012.

The forest park serves as a retreat where Muscovites connect with woods and wildlife in their daily lives. Local groups regularly organize nature walks and outdoor activities that help people understand the forest ecosystem.

The forest park is located southwest of the Moscow Ring Road near Vnukovo Airport and offers easy access to marked trails. Visitors can walk, run, or cycle through the wooded areas at their own pace.

The forest park shelters beavers, muskrats, grey herons, and diving ducks among century-old oak and birch trees. These animals are often surprisingly close to visitors during quiet walks through the woods.
