History
Archaeological excavations indicate that near the Khimki riverbed there was a site of an ancient man. Events went on as usual, settlements arose and were destroyed, two wars (1812 and 1945) took turns demolishing the settlement from the face of the earth. Only in 1960 did Tushino communicate with Moscow, the villages began to grow and a park was laid out here for people to relax. Later, the territory became part of Moscow, which greatly affected its attendance. Domestic cinema used this natural area for filming episodes of films.
Since 1992, the territory has been given the name "Northern Tushino Park of Culture and Leisure". Since 2013 it is againwaiting for transformation. The territory of the park was combined with the museum and memorial complex of the history of the fleet, and several more small park areas were added to them. Now the Northern Tushino Park has greatly increased in size and acquired historical significance.
