Sokolniki District, Administrative district in northeastern Moscow, Russia.

Sokolniki District is an administrative area in eastern Moscow with homes, shops, and open green spaces spread throughout. The area includes different neighborhoods where older and newer buildings stand side by side.

The name comes from falconry in the 15th century, when nobles used this area as a hunting ground for hawks. This royal hunting tradition is where the area got its name.

The park here is a gathering place where residents spend weekends and locals celebrate seasonal festivals throughout the year. It shapes how people in the neighborhood spend their free time and bring families together.

The area is easy to reach by metro and has good connections to central Moscow. There are plenty of paths for walking and exploring, and the park offers open spaces for different activities.

Some residential buildings here were built with modern techniques that protect against wind and weather. These innovative structures show how current architecture is setting new standards.
