The park was originally established as a forest-park zone on the site of a former cemetery, with many historic burials still marked by small monuments.
A significant portion of the park is covered by mature birch trees, from which the park derives its name, 'Birch Grove'.
The site houses a permanent amusement park with a Ferris wheel that offers views of the surrounding Dzerzhinsky residential district.
It contains a memorial complex dedicated to soldiers who died in local military conflicts, including a dedicated memorial for those lost in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
A small wooden church, the Church of the icon of the Mother of God 'Seeking the Lost', is located within the park grounds.
Park Berezovaya Roshcha is a sprawling 30-hectare urban park in Novosibirsk, centered around a protected birch forest. The park serves as a hub for both nature recreation and local entertainment, featuring an amusement area with various rides. Established in the mid-20th century, it maintains significant portions of its original woodland despite urban expansion. The site includes a small chapel and designated memorial zones dedicated to military history. Paved pathways facilitate pedestrian circulation throughout the dense birch groves. During winter, the park transitions to host seasonal activities such as ice skating and cross-country skiing. It functions as a primary green lung for the Dzerzhinsky district.

Stick to the paved main paths to avoid mud after rainfall, as the forest floor can remain damp.
Visit during the early morning hours on weekdays to experience the birch groves in near silence before the amusement section opens.
Avoid the amusement area if seeking a quiet nature walk, as it is significantly noisier than the peripheral forest zones.
Amusement rides are seasonal and generally do not operate during extreme winter weather; the park grounds remain accessible year-round.
Maintain respectful behavior in the memorial zones; keep dogs on a leash in designated areas.
