Description of the place

Sokolniki has a long history. Falconry was organized here during the time of Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great gathered entertainment festivities. P. I. Tchaikovsky, Isaac Levitan, F. I. Chaliapin and other famous people have been here.

The Soviet government proclaimed Sokolniki a cultural park with the opening of exhibition pavilions, dance verandas, cafes, restaurants.

Today the square is being reconstructed. It is one of the most visited attractions in Moscow.

The area of the park is large, but it is almost impossible to get lost there, as there are signs everywhere. Along a wide alley from the main entrance you can walk to the Bolshoyfountain circle. In winter, a skating rink is poured here, where you can skate for free. There is another skating rink near Pavilion No. 2. In the summer, you can skate and rollerblade there. Cyclists ride along the straight alleys of the park. Those who like to relax near the water can sit by the pond, which looks more like a picturesque swamp. Athletes are provided with outdoor exercise equipment, table tennis tables, badminton courts, and a football field. For children, all kinds of slides, swings, "climbs" were built. The park also has a Ferris wheel and many carousels.
