A beach recreation area has been created on the bank of the Pionersky Pond in the Maxim Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure. This season, you can swim and sunbathe here.
“This summer season, you can swim and sunbathe on Pionersky Pond. Despite its relatively small area, you can swim here, splash around in the water with your children, and sunbathe on comfortable loungers and deck chairs,” said the deputy head of the capital’s Department of Capital Repairs
Gorky Park is one of the most popular in the capital. It is located in the very center of the city, combining natural areas, historical heritage and modern public spaces. Over time, Muscovites’ ideas about quality recreation have changed, so there was a need to create new infrastructure and expand the existing functionality of the park.
One of the objects of improvement and rehabilitation was the Pioneer Pond. It appeared in the 19th century during the arrangement of the garden of the bourgeois school, which owned this territory. At that time, the pond was called Small. Actor Mikhail Chekhov fished here and singer Fyodor Shalyapin skated here.
During the Soviet era, the pond was called Pionersky. In this picturesque place, you could go boating or feed the ducks. However, the pond was unsuitable for swimming. It was decided to change this and create a new beach recreation area literally two steps from the Garden Ring.
The specialists cleared the bottom of silt and debris in the amount of 3.7 thousand cubic meters, and then arranged a sandy pond bed and a beach area with gentle slopes to the water. They restored more than 620 meters of the coastline. To make swimming not only pleasant but also safe, they equipped a mobile point for complex water purification with a bottom outlet.
Along the shore, decking was installed. For this purpose, a metal frame with a decking covering of almost 4.6 thousand square meters was mounted on piles. Various chairs, chaise lounges and sun loungers for relaxation and sunbathing were placed on the decking. Benches and urns were also installed around the pond. In total, 356 small architectural forms appeared.
Four pavilions were erected near the pond, which will house changing rooms, showers, toilets, a beach equipment rental point, administration offices and a cozy café with a terrace.
In the sunbathing areas, wooden pergolas in pastel green were placed. Their contours resemble the arch of the main entrance with a central part and semicircular wings extending from it – circumferences.
You can walk around the pond in cool weather, when the swimming season has not yet opened or has already ended. For this purpose, sidewalks made of concrete tiles with an area of 3.4 thousand square meters were made. The space is illuminated by 55 lanterns, made in a modern design, with energy-saving lamps.
For the safety of vacationers, lifeguard towers were installed, an alert system and 25 CCTV cameras were mounted. The area around the pond was landscaped: almost 6.5 thousand square meters of lawn were laid out, more than 30 linden trees, maples and about 500 bushes were planted.
About a thousand safety signs will be replaced on Moscow reservoirs
A playground with a slide, a climbing frame, swings and an obstacle course was set up near the pond. A small recreation area with a pergola, comfortable chairs and tables was placed nearby. Parents will be able to sit there and watch their children play.
