Borisovo Ponds, Reservoir in Orekhovo-Borisovo district, Moscow, Russia.
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.
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.
The ponds serve as a gathering place where locals come to walk, fish, and spend time outdoors in their daily routines. Over time, the area has become a natural focal point for the residential community nearby.
The ponds are best explored on foot by following the established paths around the shorelines that are open to visitors. Warmer months are ideal for visiting, when green spaces look most welcoming and fishing opportunities are available.
The ponds serve as an important habitat for various bird species that migrate and feed throughout the seasons. Birdwatchers can spot a good variety of species along the shorelines, especially during certain times of day.
