The park was constructed on the site of the former Hotel Rossiya, once one of the largest hotels in the world.
The Floating Bridge is a gravity-defying cantilever structure made of concrete and steel, suspended 15 meters above the water.
The park's 'Ice Cave' attraction is a permanent installation maintained at sub-zero temperatures using a network of cooling pipes.
During the park's construction, archaeologists discovered a 16th-century cobblestone street that is now preserved and displayed on-site.
The glass roof of the outdoor amphitheater serves as a giant greenhouse, maintaining a specific microclimate for alpine plants.
Zaryadye was the first large public park built in Moscow city center in over 50 years when it opened in 2017.
The park's design was the result of an international competition won by the Diller Scofidio + Renfro architectural firm.
Many of the park's plants were specifically selected to withstand Moscow's harsh winters and the urban heat island effect.
Zaryadye Park is a modern landscape park located on the site of a former hotel complex near the Kremlin. Its defining feature is the V-shaped 'Floating Bridge' that extends 70 meters over the Moskva River without supports. The park is divided into four distinct climate zones representing different Russian landscapes: forest, steppe, tundra, and floodplain. It features the Zaryadye Concert Hall, which incorporates an outdoor amphitheater built directly into the hillside. The park includes an underground archaeological museum showcasing artifacts unearthed during the site's massive excavation. Its architectural design integrates sustainable technology, including glass roofs and solar-powered elements. The site occupies 13 hectares of historical district space between Varvarka Street and the riverfront. It functions as both a public green space and a high-tech entertainment hub.
