The park's design was awarded the 'Best Complex Improvement Project' in the Moscow Region.
The wooden decking covers several kilometers, designed to minimize soil erosion along the Pekhorka riverbanks.
The skate park area is one of the largest specialized concrete-bowl structures in the Eastern Moscow region.
The project implementation involved a multi-stage ecological cleaning of the Pekhorka riverbed.
During winter, the park maintains designated cross-country skiing tracks that loop through the forested sections.
Ekopark Pekhorka is a prominent urban green space in Balashikha, centered around the restoration of the Pekhorka River banks. The park features a multi-level wooden embankment and extensive pedestrian boardwalks that extend directly over the water. It serves as a multifunctional recreational area, integrating modern sports infrastructure with preserved natural forest zones. Visitors can access dedicated zones for street workout, beach volleyball, and a professional-grade skate park. The site includes a network of paved cycling paths that connect various forest clearings. Lighting installations are designed to illuminate the walking routes for evening accessibility. The park preserves significant mature birch and pine tree populations as part of its landscape design.
