The capital of Russia is a huge settlement, a metropolis, in which about 20 million people live together with visitors. In its stone jungle, the only places where you can relax and breathe relatively clean air are parks and squares. One of these oases is Tushinsky Park, an autonomous state cultural institution.
Location of the park, its components
This cultural object is located on the territory of the Northern Tushino district, between the Khimki reservoir and Svoboda street, in the north-west of the capital. It is a semicircle consisting of various natural elements that cover the residential area of Tushino from the east, north and west. These include: the Skhodnya valley between the Moscow Ring Road and Factory passage, the Tushinskaya Chasha, the Bratovka valley with the Bratsevsky garden, the Bratsevo estate, the shore of the Butakovsky Bay, the Aleshkinsky forest and the Zakharkovsky garden. All these territories differ in the nature of vegetation and are dividedstreets.
Some historical data
Park "Tushinsky" has its own history, which is summarized briefly, in telegraph style. Even in the Bronze Age, ancient people chose the banks of Khimki. Then the Finno-Ugric and B altic tribes migrated here, after a while - the Slavs-Vyatichi. The forests were so dense that the settlement was impossible to detect, and the tribes lived in isolation, traded and maintained contact with the outside world thanks to the river. Times have changed, forests have thinned, the soil has become poor. In the XIV century, the villages of Zakharkino and Aleshkino appeared here, their inhabitants were already sawing and rafting wood, moonlighting as a cart driver, and engaged in various crafts. In 1812, both villages were damaged and it was hard to restore them. During the revolution, the monastery and the temple were destroyed. In those years, they began to build a reservoir and the Moscow-Volga canal, a barracks settlement was set up nearby. And in 1937, the villages were buried under water. Butakovsky Bay appeared on the site of the Grachevka River. After the Great Patriotic War, restoration work was again carried out. They planted trees, built piers. In the 60s, a park was laid out for Muscovites to relax. Tushino entered the boundaries of Moscow, local residents were settled in high-rise buildings. Muscovites liked to relax here, and in 1992 the territory received the status of a Park of Culture and Leisure, and since 1998 the Tushinsky Natural Park has been formed.

In the southern part of the park, for example, there is a museum of the Navy, and nearby, on a fortified shore, there is an ekranoplan, a boat and a submarine, which also belong to the museum. Behind it is the Zakharkovo orchard, from where there is a descent to the reservoir. Recently, visitors to these places can meet fairy-tale characters carved from wood. What else is Tushinsky Park famous for? If you walk along the alley, you can get to a small square with a stage installed on it, a small cafe and a descent to the water.
