Sokolniki Park, Public park in Sokolniki District, Moscow, Russia.
Sokolniki Park extends over six square kilometers with networks of paths through forests of pine, spruce, birch, oak, and maple trees.
The park originated in the 14th century as hunting grounds where Russian rulers practiced falconry, giving the area its name from sokol, meaning falcon.
The Sokolniki Park Museum, established in 2015, preserves the history of leisure activities and displays artifacts spanning multiple centuries.
The park contains an exhibition center, sports facilities, adventure playgrounds, lakes for boating in summer, and an outdoor ice rink in winter.
The park hosted the 1959 Kitchen Debate between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev during the American National Exhibition.
