Timiryazevsky Park: a great place to relax

Timiryazevsky Park is one of the few preserved corners of old Moscow. Located in the complex reserve "Petrovsko-Razumovskoye", it not only serves as an excellent resting place for thousands of Muscovites and guests of the capital, but is also an object of observation and research for students of the famous Agricultural Academy located on its territory.

Its glorious chronicle Timiryazevsky Park has been in use since the 16th century, when the village of Semchino was located here, which was part of the estate of such famous families as Shuisky, Prozorovsky and Naryshkin. It was with the last genus, whose representative - Kirill Petrovich - was brought to the grandfather himself by Peter the Great, and the story of the construction of the temple here and the beginning of the planting of various trees and shrubs is connected. The future emperor himself, as the documents and numerous testimonies of his contemporaries show, repeatedly visited this park and personally planted several mighty oaks here.

Already in the XVIII century, the future Timiryazevsky Park became part of the estate of Count Razumovsky, who built a small dam on the river Jabne that flowed here. This made it possible to arrange in this area several magnificent ponds, which are known to most Muscovites as Academic ones. It was with the graph that this area began to acquire the features of a classical French park: here there were several tracks, terraces, grotto and pavilion for a review of the surrounding nature.

In the second half of the 19th century the future Timiryazevsky Park, whose map was already formed in the main features, became the base for the Petrovsky Agricultural Academy. The project of the building, executed in a somewhat unusual Baroque style for the era, was developed by the notorious architect N. Benois. The park itself was divided into 14 parts, each of which was planted certain trees and conducted some experiments. For several years the well-known scientist Timiryazev lived here, as well as the writer Korolenko.

Today it is difficult to find a better resting place than Timiryazevsky Park. Moscow should be grateful to its employees for the fact that, despite all sorts of cataclysms (military, political, economic), they and the leadership of the Agricultural Academy manage to defend it, like a small green island in a smoky and choking city. Muscovites like it for its primordiality, for the lack of asphalt paths and many signs of civilization. But here there are aviaries with rare birds, you can meet pheasants, nightingales, owls, squirrels.

Timiryazevsky Park is an excellent resting place for the whole family. It is easy enough to find a place for a picnic and barbecue. For a small fee you can make an exciting trip by boat and feed the ducks for free. Children can be very difficult to tear away from unpretentious rides on numerous playgrounds. At the same time, every holidaymaker needs to be as careful as possible to prevent a fire.
