Borisovo Ponds, Reservoir in Orekhovo-Borisovo district, Moscow, Russia.
Description
Borisovo Ponds is a water system in southern Moscow that flows through a residential neighborhood, comprising several connected lakes bordered by walking paths and green spaces. The water bodies provide quiet areas for strolling and observation, with trees and grass lining the shorelines.
History
The ponds were created as artificial water bodies and have remained part of Moscow's landscape since their establishment in the southern Orekhovo-Borisovo district. They adapted over time as the surrounding residential area grew and developed.
