About the park
The park’s terraces descend from north-east to south-west, carrying four recreated landscape types: forest, steppe, tundra and marsh. These zones overlap and intersect rather than sitting in separate plots; woodland planting, open ground and marshland form a varied, continuous relief. They evoke Russia’s natural regions but are not surviving tracts of wild landscape. Temperature, wind and natural light are managed to create different microclimates across the park. Its planting includes 120 plant species, with 752 trees and about 7,000 shrubs.

Zaryadye takes its name from its position behind the Lower Trading Rows, which ran along Moskvoretskaya Street from the Moscow River to Varvarka. Trading communities had settled here by the 12th century; the district is first mentioned in 1365, and its street plan had taken shape by the 17th century. Artisans, clerks and merchants lived here in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1555, the Mytny Dvor, including the English Court, was established on Varvarka; the restored English Court complex has been a museum since 1994. The Rossiya Hotel was built on the historic quarter’s site and opened in 1967. After its demolition, the park was created there. Construction uncovered more than 15,000 archaeological finds, including a fragment of the 16th-century Kitai-gorod Wall, now displayed in an underground museum, and stone axes associated with the Fatyanovo culture.
Birds recorded nearby include rock pigeon, hooded crow, great tit, house sparrow and mallard.
