Weekend at Kuzminki. Opening of an art beach in Kuzminki. Which city parks have opened recreation areas near the water
"There is black powder in the count's park,
The lilies are blooming there. "
From the movie "D, Artagnan and the Three Musketeers"
The Department of Natural Resources has reached the bottom. This time the bottom of the pool.
The officials decided to build pontoon pools with beach complexes in a landscape pond of the 18th century, located in a specially protected natural area "Kuzminki-Lyublino".
Work on the Upper Kuzminsky pond has already begun. They are underway without expertise and without a project... The same fate awaits the Shibaevsky Pond in Kuzminsky Park, the Moskvoretsky PIP and Lake Chernoe in Zelenograd.
The scale of the structures is still difficult to understand, but judging by the information board, these beach complexes are quite large - look at the number of sun loungers around the perimeter of the proposed pools. But the pond is very small.
View from the extreme point of the Upper Kuzminsky pond.
Questions immediately arise - where will the water come from, how will it be disinfected, where will it drain? And how is all this compatible with the status of protected areas and cultural heritage sites? And how similar structures, as well as the sharply increased recreational load, will affect the condition of the pond and its inhabitants.
In recent years, the pond has been overgrown. The Ponomarka feeding him. The Red Book black alder tree is bent in the upper reaches. Last fall, on the bank of the Upper Pond, a recreation area without swimming was already built with imported quartz sand, since the water condition does not allow swimming in the ponds of the Kuzminsky Park.
This is how the Upper Kuzminsky pond looked like before construction.
Water lilies, egg-pods, water irises and other beautiful plants grew there, and mallards nested there.
A pontoon beach with a swimming pool in the Severnoye Tushino park looks like this, and the entrance fee is 1000 rubles.
What can we do for our pond? At least - to formally express your opinion about what is happening.
Text to send:
“I learned that construction of beach complexes with pontoon pools has begun in the Upper Kuzminsky pond of the Kuzminki-Lyublino PIP. to conclude that work on the installation of beach complexes is being carried out without a project and appropriate expertise and permits. Similar objects are also planned to be located in the Shibaevsky pond (purchase Purchase No. 0373200003116000168).
Natural and historical park "Kuzminki-Lyublino" is an object of natural and cultural heritage. Such objects grossly distort the historical landscape and can cause irreparable harm to the ecosystem of ponds.
Please check the above facts.
I also ask you to inform us whether all the necessary examinations have been carried out, whether approvals have been received from the relevant departments and whether the executing company has permits for these works.
In addition, I consider it extremely inappropriate to build such complexes in the natural and cultural heritage protection zone. I express my extreme indignation at the unprofessional activities of the Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection and demand that the initiator of this project be held accountable and dismissed from his position! "
Addressees:
On July 5, residents of Kuzminki will receive their own art beach - Marina Zvyagintseva's installation "The Sea of a Sleeping Area".
Kuzminki Park and the National Center for Contemporary Art (NCCA) present the first art beach in the Moscow residential area. The curators of the project are destroying the stereotype that you need to go somewhere far away for rest and show that in the metropolis we also have our own sea right under our feet - water tamed by man and hidden in the city's underground utilities.
The task of the art project is to draw the attention of a city dweller to what he lives next to: objects of a person's intimate space - baths and beds - are transferred under the open sky and turn out to be a symbol of a person's exit from an isolated space into a zone of public communication.
The installation is filled with marine symbols and consists of several parts: the symbol of the sleeping area - the bed - grows with pipes in which our "secret" sea lives.
The disappearance of water, which is turned off in summer, is reminded by the "Fountain of Housing and Public Utilities". It is made up of five bathtubs fastened to each other, standing on the ground in a circle: thin pipes with shower heads are attached to the central post, on which the silicone is frozen with "jets of water".
The "pool", filled with dry and lifeless sand, recalls the harsh laws of the existence of a modern urbanist being.
The Kuzminki Park of Culture and Leisure is part of the Kuzminsky Forest Park, the Moscow part of which belongs to the territory of the Kuzminki-Lyublino Natural and Historical Park.
In the spring of 2013, the territory of Kuzminki expanded significantly due to the annexation of land near the Lublin Pond, Sadovniki Park, Borisovskie Ponds, Pechatniki, 60th Anniversary of October and Arshinovsky Parks.
It should be noted that the reconstruction of the park began in 2014. During this time, many historical objects related to the Kuzminki estate have been restored, playgrounds for playing small towns, chess, and sports have been built. Currently, work is underway to build an entertainment complex on the site of the Vysota cinema (Yunykh Lenivtsev street). The reconstruction is planned to be completed by the end of 2019.
The entire infrastructure of Kuzminki Park is aimed at attracting Moscow residents and city guests here not only for entertainment, but also for hobbies. Creative studios, master classes, themed children's clubs, sports grounds, dance clubs for the elderly - all this makes Kuzminki an attractive place for recreation and leisure.
Kuzminki Park celebrated its birthday on May 20, 1977. On this day, its grand opening took place. But the history of Kuzminki begins much earlier.
The origin of the name "Kuzminki" is not documented. There is only an assumption that once in this place on the Churilikha (or Goledyanka) river there was a mill, which was owned by a certain miller Kuzma. Perhaps the mill was called Kuzminskaya by the name of the owner, and perhaps the church of Kosma and Domian stood nearby. In general, that's all. Further, the history of the Kuzminki estate begins, which is located in the park and is a historical monument.

And in eight metropolitan parks
The Kuzminki Estate is one of the oldest estates in Moscow. It is located at the metro station of the same name, so it is very easy to get to Kuzminki. You can also get here from other stations: Volzhskaya, Ryazansky Prospekt, if you wish, you can go from Lyublino and Tekstilshchikov. As it is convenient for anyone, in general.
From the metro station Kuzminki to go to the park for about ten minutes. The entrance to the park will be marked by an arched sign that reads “ Manor Vlakhernskoye-Kuzminki". The English landscape park, designed by the architect D. Gilardi in 1811-1820, is spread over a large area. As far as I know, this is the largest estate territory in Moscow.
The owners of Kuzminki at one time were two well-known noble families: the Stroganovs and the Golitsyns. Peter I granted these lands to Grigory Dmitrievich Stroganov in 1702 for his good service. It was a sign of a high disposition towards him from the side of the king.
But Grigory Dmitrievich practically did not use the received territories in any way. The construction of the manor complex in Kuzminki began only with his children. For the most part, this was done by Alexander Grigorievich Stroganov, who later became the sole full owner of the estate.
Under A.G. Stroganov, the Church of the Blakhernskaya Icon of the Mother of God is being built. This icon was a former shrine of the Stroganov family, so the church was consecrated in her honor. After the name of the church, the estate received a new name - the village of Vlakhernskoye. A manor house and other outbuildings are being built near the church. They were all originally made of wood.
The daughter of Alexander Stroganov, Anna, who inherited Kuzminki after his death, in 1757 married Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Golitsyn. Anna Aleksandrovna became the last owner of Kuzminki from the Stroganov family and the first from the Golitsyn family. MM. In addition to the estate, Golitsyn received as a dowry from his wife salt breweries, cast iron foundries in the Urals, ancient documents, and many others.
At the foundries of Mikhail Mikhailovich, they created real masterpieces of iron casting to decorate Kuzminki. The estate has turned into a real open-air museum. All wooden buildings were rebuilt and made of stone. Most of them have survived to our time.
At one time, the village of Vlakhernskoye was put on a par with Peterhof and the Parisian Versailles.
Horse yard
Now what we saw in Kuzminki is the remnants of the former luxury. Of all the buildings, only the church and the Horse Yard function. It was recently restored, as well as two grottoes on the other side of the pond. The grottoes were a good shelter from the summer heat and heat. In the Great Grotto, which has only one entrance, theatrical performances were staged under the prince. There was no theater of its own, as in, so a grotto was adapted for these purposes.
The horse yard is open to visitors, but we decided not to go there. Having asked the cashier selling tickets: "What is there?", We received an indistinct answer: "Well, this is a horse yard!" Then it became clear that there was nothing interesting there. Although I may be wrong. If anyone was there, write. It will be interesting to read.
Grotto
In Kuzminki, it was surprising that it took about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the park to the estate itself, which is quite a long time when compared with other estates in which we were. The maps of the park in some places are not entirely clear. Only when you are near the Horse Yard, you begin to understand where you are and where what is.
IN park Kuzminki several ponds, but swimming in them, as in most reservoirs of Moscow, is impossible. A cafe-ship runs along the pond near the Horse Yard, on which you can take your time to explore the park, sitting at a table and sipping cold beer, lemonade (whoever likes what better).
On the territory of the park, mainly near the Mill Wing, which is on the dam, there are several cafes. They sell ice cream, kvass, beer, various souvenirs and trinkets. Not far from the entrance to the park, from the station. m. Kuzminki has an amusement park and a go-kart area. But we did not see the karts themselves. Therefore, it is not clear whether there are races there or not.
As I already said from the whole complex of buildings of the Kuzminki estate, only the Church of the Blakhernskaya Mother of God, the Horse Yard and the Mill Wing have been restored. Plus, there is a honey museum. Unfortunately, I don’t know what was in the museum building before. The rest of the buildings require restoration. Among them are the Lord's House, the Orange Greenhouse, and the kitchen building. We reached the Animal Farm, which also needs renovation. On the way to it, we saw another building without a sign with a description, which among the trees you will not immediately notice. It was not even possible to photograph the master's house because of the surrounding trees.
Therefore, having decided to go to Kuzminki, do not expect to see luxurious palace buildings here, as in, or in. This is not here. People come to Kuzminki to relax, sunbathe on the banks of ponds, ride bicycles and rollerblades. We met a lot of people on bicycles. Perhaps there is a rental car somewhere in the park. Kuzminki are very popular among city residents of any age category. People here have picnics, barbecue, play volleyball. And just sitting in a cafe on the shore of the pond, in my opinion, is a great pastime. Concerts are sometimes held near the Horse Yard. We just got on this. The songs sang there were not modern, so we were not particularly interested in it. Besides, we were about to leave. But all the seating places near the stage, which served as a small terrace near the sculptures, were occupied.
Another fact about the estate in Kuzminki, which simply cannot be ignored. Literally a week after visiting the park, the famous "Battle of Psychics" program was shown on TV. One of the tasks took place in the Lord's house of the Kuzminki estate. It turned out that ghosts live there, ghosts that guards often hear. And some even managed to be captured on camera. They look like round white phantoms. So, not everything is calm in the Kingdom of Danish ...
A walk in Kuzminki Park left me feeling dissatisfied. Yes, we took a walk in the park, sunbathed, rested. But the fact that the estate was not working upset us. I read somewhere on the Internet that in 2010 several more buildings of the complex should be restored. I hope the main palace - the Lord's House - will be among them. After its restoration, it will be necessary to go to Kuzminki again.
