Moscow does not have a good environment. And if not for the numerous parks, squares, rivers and lakes, it would be really bad. Thanks to the large planting areas, Muscovites and guests of the capital have the opportunity to relax and breathe clean air. One of these places is the Dubki park. And although this name appeared about half a century ago, this area has its own history, which begins in the 19th century. In those days, there was a chic oak grove here.
Dubki Park in the 19th century
In the middle of the grove was a three-part lake. This reservoir was not independent, but was part of the water exchange system in the north of Moscow. And now, according to some information, it connects with the waters of the Kopytovka River, through it - with the Ostankino and Farmer ponds. And all this with the help of a system of underground collectors. Previously, there was a connection with the Astradam and Deer ponds through the Zhabenka river. Significant changes began after 1861, when the Petrovsky-Razumovskaya estate became the property of the Forest Academy. They began to cut down parts of the grove and keep a dacha thereconstruction, laying new driveways and roads. It turns out that the Moscow Zoo was originally planned to be built not on Krasnaya Presnya, but here. A beautiful lake, a chic forest - ideal conditions, but it was necessary to perform a small amount of work. The distance to the center of the capital was great, and for this sole reason, the mayors of Moscow decided that the public would not travel that far.
The next stage of history: after 1945
After the end of the Great Patriotic War, the grove was almost completely cut down. One person stood up for defense, Mironov, a former engineer for landscaping and landscaping. He began to defend the ancient oak grove in front of the officials. He connected students, pensioners, schoolchildren, in general, the entire local population to the struggle. The felling was stopped and even new plantings were planted: young oaks, lilacs, ornamental varieties of shrubs and trees. The ponds began to be put in order. It was the oak trees that gave the name to the revived park. In the 80s, they wanted to build up this area with residential buildings, but again, caring people defended it. In the same years, a large amount of landscaping work was carried out here. After the cleaning of the ponds, many springs clogged. They built a children's town. It was soon destroyed, but then rebuilt again. Recently, these places were thoroughly put in order, and now the Dubki park is a favorite place for recreation and walks for all residents.

Now we have a nice, cozy park, which, with its area of 18 hectares, is included incomposition of the large reserve "Petrovsko-Razumovskoe". Before us is a typical oak forest near Moscow.
