Morozovsky Garden

The Morozovsky Garden covers an area of about half a hectare, it is a historical place that got its name from the Morozovs who owned it. The previous name — Kokorevsky Garden — was given in honor of the former owner Kokorev.

Many Soviet and Russian films were shot in Morozovsky Park, and it is a great place to walk in good weather. For a long time, it was closed to visitors, as the Morozovsky House became private property in 2001, and the park was closed at the same time under the pretext of reconstruction. At the initiative of local residents, it was opened 10 years later: a small park, which became private ownership, outraged the population so much that it came to the Moscow government.

The kindergarten is very small, and it won't take much time to go around it completely, and there are no benches here. But on the other hand, there are many trees and you can hide in the shade, breathe fresh air. And most importantly, during sunset, it offers a unique view of the Kremlin, the churches of Ivanovskaya Gorka and the ancient roofs of the surrounding houses. All this is because the park is located on a small hill. It is said that in 1980, an unexploded high-explosive artillery shell was found in one of the construction pits. The history of the garden is even more interesting: there is an opinion that this small area of greenery is still from Prince Vasily III!

In 2001, the garden and the estate fell into the hands of a private person. The new owner decided to do very interesting things with this small green area: he threw out the old fence, cut down the trees, made an underground parking lot... Now the Moscow government has forced the owner to open access to the garden — during the day you can get here through an inconspicuous gate. You have to go to Morozovsky Park along Podkopaevsky Lane, and then you will have to climb the stairs.

The park is tiny, very well maintained, decorated with a vine hedge. So far, the gate opens only during the daytime, but the locals are heartily worried about the fate of the park. They do not want to lose it, because the only islands of greenery on their way are a small park closer to the Library of Historical Literature, a well-groomed area near the Kitay-Gorod metro station and Milyutinsky Sad on the way to [Chistye Prudy] (https://kudago.com/msk/place/chistye-prudy1/).
