Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure-  is an amusement park in Moscow.
From the beginning a park of culture and leisure was supposed to become the city’s pivotal centre — «a central base for social education and a centre of cultural provision», «a central body planning and regulating all cultural life of the ‘green city’». The ‘green city’ was supposed to ease the everyday life of city dwellers, organise their leisure, and become a laboratory in which the new person’s identity would take shape.


Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy
 Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy provides wide range of services such as creation of exhibits, presentations of companies, regions, advertising, information, document, customs, transport and forwarding services, also visa, hotel reservations, providing office and trade areas. Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy develops very active today and preserves the historical traditions at the same time.
The most important and priority directions of development for the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy are exhibition, congress work, leisure activities, science and education work.

 Tsaritsyno museum and reserve in Moscow. The 18th-century architecture ensemble was built (though not finished) following the order of Catherine II in Neo-Gothic style, after projects of the Bazhenov and Kazakov, and it is the only 18th-century architectural ensemble of such dimensions in Russia.
 Currently, in Tsaritsyno there are a history and architecture museum, a landscape park with an adjacent forest, an art museum, the Biryulyovo dendropark, and a cascade of the Tsaritsyno ponds.

 Kolomenskoye is a former royal estate situated several kilometers to the southeast of the city center of Moscow. The narrow pilasters on the sides of the chetverik, the arrow-shaped window frames, the three tiers of the kokoshniks and the quiet rhythm of stair arcades and open galleries underline the dynamic tendency of this masterpiece of the Russian architecture.

Sokolniki Park is not far from the center of the city, near Sokolnicheskaya Gate. Today Sokolniki is a typical Russian park, with an aging funfair and other amusements for children, and numerous fast food stalls all clustered near the main entrance. In summer the central alleyways are a mass of brightly colored formal flowerbeds, while the depths of the park are a wilderness home to pines and spruces, birches and oaks, limes and maples - all trees native to the Moscow region - as well as a number of non-indigenous trees, such as larches, cedars, walnut, red oaks, etc. The park's wildlife includes hares, squirrels and weasels, as well as 76 types of bird.

 Fallen Monument Park (formerly called the Park of the Fallen Heroes) is a park outside the Krymsky Val building in Moscow shared by the modern art division of Tretyakov Gallery and Central House of Artists. It is located between the Park Kultury and the Oktyabrskaya underground stations.
