Парк імені Воровського, Regional heritage park in Voykovsky District, Russia
Vorovsky Park occupies the grounds of a former clinic in Moscow's Voykovsky District, next to the Voykovskaya metro station. The clinic building still stands at the centre of the park and now houses a children's and youth centre. The Varshava cinema, built in 1970, also stands on the grounds, which is why the park is sometimes called the park by the Varshava cinema.
The grounds began in 1898 as part of a medical facility for alcoholics before transforming into a sanatorium after 1917. This shift marked a change in how the space was understood and used by the broader community.
The park's second name, "Park by the Varshava Cinema", comes from the cinema building erected on the grounds in 1970. In 1995, for the 50th anniversary of Victory, a sculpture titled "Victory" by sculptor A. E. Neistat was installed here; it became the symbol of the Voykovsky District. The park is a regional cultural heritage site.
The park lies by the Voykovskaya metro station exit and Leningradskoye Highway. Before the 2012 reconstruction it held one sports ground, two children's playgrounds, an amusement town and one of Moscow's few professional gorodki courts. The 1898 clinic building stands in the centre.
The former medical facility building now serves as an educational center for children and young people, showing how the site has adapted over time. This repurposed structure connects the park's past medical role to its current community function.
