📷 Moscow Parks ▶ set #2 ▶ Tsarytsino (Царицыно)
Hi Steemians, friends, followers and the whole community! 👋 👋 👋
As I stated in the previous post set ▶ 1, I had an idea to take you on a journey through Moscow parks and... my next set is ready now! Today will show you Tsarytsino Park. I really hope you will enjoy it! 😊
As per wikipedia there are about 25 big parks in Moscow, and many many smaller. The total area occupied by parks is relatively big percentage of the whole territory of the city.
TSARYTSINO PARK (Russian: Царицино)
Some first hand info:
Located in the south of Moscow, about 20 km from Kremlin, Tsarytsino boasts an architectural complex of the late 18th century, huge by size landscaped park with ponds and new park zones with fountains, cafes. It was founded in 1776 by the order of Catherine the Great, that fell in love we the area and nature. It took years before the wilderness was shaped into a park.
The fountain, opened few years ago, stays on the main path, taking you from the central entrance of the park to the Main Palace.
It was a weekday, but I had the feeling, as it is a holiday or weekend day.Was surprised to see sooo many people relaxing in the park. It was overcrowded, just like downtown Moscow.
That is the Main Palace, conceived to be a summer residence for the Empress, but after her death the construction was stopped. It took some other decades before it got finished.
The bridge leads to the meadows and the forest, surrounding the Palace complex. It is part of the architectural complex. Actually there are few same type bridges in the park.
It offers a view of a fairly large ravine, which is located directly under the bridge.
Yeap...romantic pic, happy couple!
Just few hours ago a heavy rain washed the area, was lucky to enjoy the sunny weather now.
Getting deeper into the forest, before...
I came upon a dance floor like in the middle of the forest. The program for today is: "Lets dance some folklore music!"
I took a path down the forest hill leading to the ponds.
That was the happy end of my journey here! It took me about three hours to have the walk around the park, but it is much bigger, so it is easy to have here a whole day outing.
😊😊😊Thanks for stopping by, stay positive and have a great day!!!😊😊😊

This park looks so huge! I like the dancing program :) I guess that the fountain is lighten up during the night, right? It must be stunning! I've been to Moscow only once and managed to only go to Gorky park but to explore everything in Moscow you need a few months :D It's so big!
Hi @delishtreats! There are many activities being held on a daily basis in many parks, especially in this one. The palace is huge offering many halls to be used for art works and culture events.
I haven't been night time there, but I am 100% sure the fountains, the palace and some other sites are being lightened up at night time.
Gorky park, or Park Kultury (nowadays) is I guess in top 3 Moscow parks, it is big by size and conveniently located by the river, but of course Moscow is huge and to explore it you need more than a few days :)
btw. Where are you from?
@yanipetkov, beautiful pics! The park looks great! I like this place a lot!
You are always welcome @cryptospa!
This park looks amazing and I love how intricate the architecture of the bridge is. Certainly would be a wonderful place to visit, explore and spend the day chilling.
@socialmediaseo, my friend! Thank you for your nice comment. There are some more sets to follow. Stay tuned. Anywhere, if you are coming to Moscow, just let me know! Would like to meet you and show you around!
Excellent stuff, the plan was to come for the World Cup but it never happened, however you never know ;) And thank you for the kind invitation.

@hairyfairy, thank you very much! The parks are always energizing, I wish in Bulgaria we could have some more parks, because in Moscow are so many, just around each corner.
Have a nice day!
friend the place is incredible, apart from the fact that you can see that you are a good photographer, I hope someday to be able to visit Moscow, I am from Venezuela and the passage there is too expensive, so good that people like you can transmit and make us known landscapes
@hendersonp, thanks for stopping by. I like your part of the world, have been to Ecuador and Colombia, Venezuela should be as beautiful as its neighbors. Muchas gracias por tu comentario!
