About the park
Troparyovskiy lesopark lies within the Teplostan residual erosional upland, part of the gently rolling Moscow–Oka plain. A branching network of valleys and ravines, including gullies along valley floors and banks, cuts through the otherwise soft relief. The Ochakovka and its tributaries pass through wetter floodplain areas, where willows are widespread; woodland plantings cover most valley slopes. Birch, pine, Norway maple, small-leaved lime and larch grow in pure or mixed stands, with hazel, honeysuckle and alder buckthorn in the understorey. Deep ravine slopes can be prone to landslides, and the valley of the Ochakovka’s left tributary is designated a natural monument.

The name Troparyovo has been known for about six centuries. A village estate belonging to the boyar Ivan Mikhailovich appeared here in the late 15th century; his nickname, Tropar, came from his skill at singing psalms and troparia. In 1583, Ivan the Terrible transferred the village to Novodevichy Monastery. The park was laid out in 1961 on the site of the former monastery gardens and named for the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Its plan centred on a round square with commemorative oak plantings, from which six avenues radiated: birch, larch, poplar, apple, maple and lime. More than 40,000 trees were planted. The radial layout remains as the framework of the original design, although its detailed plan has been lost.
Birds recorded nearby include the hooded crow, great tit, Eurasian nuthatch, Eurasian blue tit and fieldfare.
