Moscow: Gorky Park.

“Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure is an amusement park in Moscow, named after Maxim Gorky (a Russian and Soviet writer, a founder of the Socialist realism literary method and a political activist).

“It was opened in 1928. It is located at Krymsky Val and situated just across the Moskva River from Park Kultury Metro Station. The Park was planned by Konstantin Melnikov, a world-famous Soviet avant-garde and constructivist architect. Gorky Park was created by the amalgamation of the extensive gardens of the old Golitsyn Hospital and the Neskuchny Palace and covers an area of 300 acres (120 hectares) along the river.”
