Since the introduction of the Parks sphere on the platform in 2022, “City of Ideas” More than 280 proposals from Muscovites were implemented, which were aimed at developing the capital’s green areas. Thus, new bike paths, dog walking areas, play areas and summer open-air cinemas were built in the parks.

New opportunities for recreation and sports

Over three years, work on the proposals of city residents was carried out in many areas of Moscow. For example, additional lighting was installed in the Mitino landscape park, which made walks at night more comfortable. In the Shmelevsky Ruchey park, between the Zyablikovo and Orekhovo-Borisovo Yuzhnoye districts, the bank of the forest reservoir was cleaned and strengthened. This gave the park a well-groomed appearance and increased its attractiveness to visitors.

In Zelenograd, the area near Shkolnoye Lake was tidied up, where new sun loungers and benches were installed and the sand on the beach was replaced. Now you can comfortably relax by the water without leaving the city.

Changes also affected the sports infrastructure. Thus, in the Lianozovo Park, a volleyball court was equipped and table tennis tables were installed, and in Golyanovsky Park this year a recreation area with swimming pools appeared as part of the Moscow Seasons project.

Cultural events in the capital’s parks

The platform can also offer an idea for holding cultural events in parks. One of the striking examples is Otradnoye Park, which has become a real center of public life in the district. Now fairs, concerts, master classes and other events initiated by city residents are regularly held here.

For example, this spring the park hosted the “Russian Yard” festival, dedicated to Russian traditions. Visitors watched performances by folk groups, took part in folk games and amusements, and also tried tea from a wood-fired samovar and homemade bread baked according to old recipes.

Last year, other Moscow parks also hosted interesting events. In June, the Mossovet District Public Center organized painting workshops for children in Semenovsky Park, where young artists painted pictures inspired by nature and learned how important it is to protect the environment. And in August, a youth basketball tournament was held on the sports ground of the Zodiac Signs Park, following which the winners were awarded commemorative district cups.

Thanks to such initiatives by Muscovites, the capital’s parks are becoming not just a place for relaxation, but also a platform for entertainment, creativity and an active lifestyle.

How to propose an initiative

Any resident of the capital who has the right to propose an idea on the platform can account on the mos.ru portal. You can do this in the “Suggest an idea” section. To do this, you need to select an area “Parks” and one of three categories: “Park improvement”, “Recreation areas for adults and children” or “Events and services”. If the moderation process is successful, the ideas will be taken into work.

You can visually evaluate the transformations in the section “Gallery of realized ideas”. It contains photos of the best works carried out on the initiative of city residents. Thanks to a recent update of the section, navigation has become easier: now you can quickly find photo or video evidence on any topic using a convenient search and filters. This allows you to see the results of the transformation of the city and get inspired for your own initiatives.
