Gorky Park & Muzeon Park
Парк Горького / Музеон
Moscow's most popular riverside park: cycling, boating and open-air cinema in summer, and one of Europe's largest outdoor ice rinks in winter.
Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure stretches along the Moskva River. Since its 2011 redevelopment it has become an open, stylish city living room, with riverside promenades, bike lanes, deck chairs, open-air theatres and plenty of cafés. The park also houses the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. To the north, Muzeon Park connects to it. Muzeon collects Soviet-era leader statues that were removed from public spaces, and next to it stands the New Tretyakov Gallery, devoted to 20th-century Russian art. In winter the park's grounds are flooded to form a large skating rink. Entry is free. Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya metro stations are about a 10-minute walk away.
