Severnoye Tushino Park, Urban park in northern Moscow, Russia.
Severnoye Tushino Park is an urban green space in northern Moscow that follows the shoreline of a reservoir and provides walking paths and activity zones. The grounds feature children's playgrounds, sports facilities, and fitness areas distributed throughout the property.
The park was established in 1992 on the site of the Zakharovsky Garden, an apple and pear orchard planted in the 1950s as a collective-farm orchard. Before 1937 the land lay on the bank of the Khimka River; the present bay is the remnant of a large ravine with the Zakharovsky stream. A 2013 reconstruction gave the park its current layout, adding the central square and extending the embankment along the Khimki Reservoir.
The park hosts state holidays, festivals, concerts, competitions and interactive programmes. A 1999 alley marks the 200th anniversary of poet Alexander Pushkin, with a memorial stone. The naval museum opened in 2006; its exhibits include the submarine B-396 "Novosibirsky Komsomolets", the hovercraft landing craft "SKAT" and the ekranoplan "Orlyonok".
The park lies between Ulitsa Svobody and the Khimki Reservoir; the nearest metro stations are Skhodnenskaya and Planernaya. The 2013 reconstruction added a central square and extended the embankment along the reservoir. A sandy and grass beach with sun loungers and pergolas, a pontoon pool in warm weather, and a network of cycle paths are available. Paths are lit by solar-powered lamps.
The naval museum opened in 2006. Its exhibits include the B-396 Novosibirsky Komsomolets submarine, the SKAT amphibious assault hovercraft and the Orlyonok ekranoplan, a wing-in-ground-effect craft. The vessels stand outdoors beside the Khimki Reservoir.
