Park-Usadba Trubeckih, Children's park on a former estate in Khamovniki, Moscow, Russia

Park-Usadba Trubeckih is a former princely estate turned children's park in Moscow's Khamovniki District. Its two ponds differ in shape: the smaller is a plain rectangle, while the larger has an irregular geometric outline with several small islands that once held summer rotunda pavilions. A low pale stone footbridge with a single shallow arch crosses the water. The main wooden manor house, one of Moscow's oldest, burned in 2001 and was replaced by a concrete copy in 2002.

In 1683 Prince Vasily Golitsyn obtained 12.5 desyatins behind the Khamovnaya settlement; the land passed through the Trubetskoy family, and under Nikita Trubetskoy a wooden palace with a belvedere, an orangery, two ponds and a fruit garden was laid out. After the estate was sold off in the 1870s, merchant Pavel Nemchinov owned most of it. In 1923 it became a workers' park, and in 1936 Moscow's first children's park, with a theatre, sports ground and parachute tower.

The park's name honours the Trubetskoy princes, but its Soviet name did not: the "Odysseus" workers' garden of 1923 commemorated revolutionary Alexander Mandelstam, whose party alias was Odysseus, not the poet Osip Mandelstam. In 1936 it became Moscow's first children's park, with a children's theatre, open-air stage, a children's car and bicycle garage, a parachute tower and a military town. Schoolchildren of the Young Naturalists' Station later replanted it following an 18th-century plan.

The park is open only during the day, so plan a visit before dusk. It lies between Usachyova, Trubetskaya and Yefremova streets and Kholzunov Lane, close to Komsomolsky Prospekt. Paths follow an 18th-century plan, and two bridges cross the pond; the low pale stone footbridge has a single shallow arch and a flat deck with a low solid railing.

After the war, the Moscow city station of young naturalists occupied the former children's park, and schoolchildren replanted its trees and laid out paths following an 18th-century plan. The pond took its present shape at that time, and two bridges were built to reach it.
