About the park
A five-kilometre strip of Filevsky Park follows the floodplain of the Moscow River, with the river forming a long boundary. Pines, oaks, birches, lime trees and elms grow in the park; in its central section, a landscaped beach and a boat station stand beside the river.

Written records of the village of Fili date to 1627, though the settlement was older. The land remained royal hunting grounds until 1689: Alexei Mikhailovich hunted here and forbade dogs from chasing birds in the marshes around the village. In 1689, the land passed to Lev Naryshkin, who laid out a formal park beside a stone church. Its lawns echoed the church’s ground plan in oval, square and four-lobed shapes. By the end of the eighteenth century, a landscape park had taken shape in two parts: an upper section around the manor house and orangery, and a lower one with a sculpture of Pluto Abducting Proserpina. A stone grotto with a “Holy Well” has not survived. The Kuntsevo hillfort preserves an older record of settlement: its earthwork bank and ditch remain, and archaeological layers date from the eighth to the fourth centuries BC. The Vyatichi inhabited the settlement in the eleventh to thirteenth centuries.
Among birds recorded nearby are the great tit, Eurasian blue tit and Eurasian nuthatch.
