Zaryadye Park Celebrates Substantial Completion with a Civic Ceremony

Designed by an international consortium, Zaryadye Park will be the first large-scale park to open in Moscow in the last fifty years.

During last week?s Moscow City Day festivities, Zaryadye Park celebrated substantial completion of the 35-acre park with a civic ceremony that opened major portions of the park to locals as construction continues. The park?which features an overlook cantilevering 70 meters over Moscow River, five pavilions, two amphitheaters and a philharmonic concert hall?is scheduled to reach full completion this fall. Centrally located, steps away from St. Basil?s Cathedral, Red Square and the Kremlin, Zaryadye Park will be the first large-scale park to open in Moscow in the past fifty years. In 2012, the City of Moscow and Chief Architect Sergey Kuznetsov organized an international design competition to transform this historically commercial territory into a public park. A design consortium led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) in partnership with Hagreaves Associates and Citymakers was selected out of ninety submissions representing 27 different countries.
