The park is directly adjacent to the Drazdy Reservoir, which is the largest of the reservoirs in the Vileyka-Minsk water system.
The forest area functions as a biological corridor for local bird species, making it a popular spot for amateur ornithologists.
The park's trail system connects to the broader bicycle path network that circles the Minsk reservoir chain.
The reservoir itself serves as a critical component of the Svislach River water management project.
Drazdy Forest Park is a recreational area situated along the northern shore of the Drazdy Reservoir in Minsk. The park features a network of maintained forest trails that wind through dense pine and birch woodland. The terrain transitions between wooded groves and open grassy meadows suitable for picnics. Several streams flow through the park, feeding into the reservoir's basin. It serves as a primary outdoor destination for residents, offering a mix of shaded walking paths and waterfront access. The park layout incorporates wooden bridges and benches integrated into the natural landscape.

Bring insect repellent during the summer months as the proximity to water increases mosquito activity.
Utilize the designated gravel paths to avoid muddy conditions in the meadow sections after rainfall.
Carry sufficient water as food and drink kiosks are sparse within the wooded interior.
Do not attempt to swim in the reservoir outside of designated beach zones due to unpredictable currents and water quality variations.
Stick to marked trails to preserve the forest undergrowth and carry out all waste.
