Fact 10
Gorky Park is a Central Park of Moscow, with a monthly attendance of more than 20,000 people a week day, and 100, 000 a day on the weekend. Since 2011 the park sets new standards for social events, so it has earned a reputation as one of the main urban areas of leisure for Moscovites. This space is designed for a new audience, focused on the European way of life.




The first recreational park in Russia was opened August 12, 1928. The main objective of the park was to conduct a broad political and educational, cultural and educational work among workers during Soviet times. 
In 1932, in connection with the 40th anniversary of the social and literary activities of Maxim Gorky, the park was named after a Soviet writer, and since then this place is called "Gorky Park"




Gorky covers an area of ​​109 hectares and is divided into two parts - a parterre garden, and "Not Boring Garden" (Neskuchny Sad). 
Nowadays, the park is popular among locals for its dance classes, yoga classes, lectures, festivals and all kinds of cultural and modern events.
