Moscow Mayor: A unique high-altitude park will appear on the site of the monorail in 2027

Work continues on the reconstruction of the Moscow Monorail, in place of which a unique park will be created at a height of six meters above the ground.

"In 2027, a unique park will appear on the site of the outdated transport system. This will be Russia's first year-round promenade park at a height of six meters. The area will connect five districts—Ostankino, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky—home to over 300,000 people. The city's new pedestrian artery will connect VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route and, of course, offer stunning views of our beloved Moscow," he wrote on his channel.

The Moscow Monorail was built over 20 years ago. The approximately five-kilometer-long line had six stations.

From 2004 to 2007, the line operated as a tourist route, with trains running every 30 minutes. Since 2008, the line has been used as regular public transport, with monorail trains running every six minutes.

With the opening of the Moscow Central Circle and the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line in 2016, Muscovites began using the monorail less frequently. Moreover, half of its route is duplicated by tram routes 11, 17, and 25, and partially by about 20 other ground transit routes. Consequently, the monorail was reverted to a tour-only mode. In recent years, fewer than two thousand people used it per day, with over 90 percent of those passengers being tourists. Thus, the monorail effectively lost its transportation function.

In this regard, Muscovites were proposed to create Russia's first year-round elevated promenade park on the monorail infrastructure. This idea was strongly supported by the majority of voters in the Active Citizen project.

Muscovites voted to create a park on the monorail site, according to Sergei Sobyanin.

The park, covering over 40,000 square meters, will be open 24 hours a day and will become a modern, comfortable space for sports, walks, family recreation, and gatherings with friends. The park is planned to feature a four-kilometer running track with two-way access, walking paths, cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, and cozy recreation areas with flower beds and trees. Thus, the monorail, which has served Muscovites for many years, will be given a second life.

The demolition of a one-kilometer section from the former Vystavochny Tsentr monorail station to the depot, including the former Ulitsa Sergei Eisensteina station, has now been completed. This has opened up a panoramic view of the main entrance to VDNKh.

In addition, the area around the former Sergei Eisenstein Street station is being improved. All work is being carried out in strict compliance with safety regulations.

Reconstruction of the preserved monorail stations "Exhibition Center", "Akademika Korolev Street", "Telecenter", "Milashenkova Street" and "Timiryazevskaya" is underway.

A new green space will connect five districts in the northeast of the capital: Ostankinsky, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky. These districts are home to over 300,000 people. The park will serve as a new pedestrian artery for the city, linking VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route. With panoramic views of the city and proximity to the country's main exhibition center and the Ostankino TV Tower, this area will become a new tourist attraction for the capital.

The park will offer everything you need for comfortable relaxation and leisure: shelters with protection from the elements, easy navigation, free Wi-Fi, park furniture with charging stations for gadgets, vending machines, and drinking fountains.

Five of the six monorail stations will be preserved and transformed into two-story park pavilions. For example, "Telecenter" will become a venue for media projects and installations, while "Milashenkova Street" will become a functional exhibition hall. The former "Vystavochny Tsentr" station will house an observation deck overlooking the main entrance to VDNKh and the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" monument.

Access to the park will be through the reconstructed pavilion stations or one of eight specially constructed additional staircases. The area will be well-lit, including architectural lighting, making it comfortable to explore not only during the day but also in the evening. For the safety of residents and tourists, a video surveillance system will be installed, and access by bicycles and scooters will be restricted.

In memory of the Moscow Monorail, two trains are planned to be preserved, allowing park visitors to examine them in detail. They are planned to be located at the Ulitsa Akademika Korolev station and near the turnaround loop at Timiryazevskaya station. Visitors will be able to learn about the monorail's history on special information boards. Furthermore, a section of the track will be preserved at the observation decks, with comfortable benches installed directly on it.

The new park is expected to be visited by up to 20,000 people a day, which is 10 times more than the number of people using the monorail.

Experts are currently finalizing the park's comprehensive architectural concept. Completion and opening to Moscow residents and visitors is planned for 2027.

Similar projects to create parks on the sites of obsolete transport infrastructure have been implemented in major cities around the world. For example, the High Line in New York City (USA) and the Goods Line in Sydney (Australia) were built on the site of former railway lines, while the Skygarden in Seoul (South Korea) replaced an old highway overpass.

Sergei Sobyanin explained how public spaces in the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug will be transformed.
