Park of 850 years of Moscow

Park of 850 years of Moscow, Urban park in Maryino district, Moscow, Russia.

The Park of 850 Years of Moscow stretches 71.6 hectares along the left bank of the Moscow River in Maryino. Its flat ground holds a broad mown lawn crossed by winding dirt and paved paths, a rectangular sand patch with a low border, and pale stone steps rising on the right. Dense trees and shrubs line the paths and the water's edge.

The park was ceremonially opened in 1997, the year Moscow marked its 850th anniversary, and a memorial stone was laid on the opening day. In 2017–2018 it was rebuilt under the city's My District programme: the first phase along Bataysky Passage began in 2017, the second finished in 2018, and Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reopened it that October after about 5 km of the left bank of the Moskva River had been landscaped.

Three monuments stand out. The five-metre red granite circle of the Happy Nickel, unveiled on 27 June 2008, carries the names of Moscow universities around a 1978 coin, worn shoes and a bronze grade book. The Good Angel of Peace complex opened on 8 June 2007. A Hans Christian Andersen statue by Vage and Mikael Sogoyan followed on 14 October 2017, with Thumbelina, the Ugly Duckling and Ole Lukøje's umbrella.

The park stretches along the left bank of the Moscow River between Bataysky Passage and Porechnaya Street, about 10–15 minutes on foot from Maryino metro station and Kuryanovo rail platform. The first section runs along Bataysky Passage; the newer section continues to Stavropolskaya Street. A cycle route links Maryino with Kapotnya, and ski-roller tracks are laid in the park.

A 320-seat outdoor amphitheater hosts theater performances and concerts throughout the year. A separate cycling path connects two neighborhoods, creating a practical link that serves both recreation and transportation needs.
