The park was designed as a direct response to the need for public green space in the densely developed Khimki waterfront district.
Its construction involved significant bank stabilization efforts to mitigate erosion along the Moskva River canal.
The promenade features a specific 'active' zone layout that separates high-speed cycling traffic from pedestrian footpaths.
During winter, sections of the park are repurposed for seasonal activities like ice skating and cross-country skiing trails.
The design prioritizes low-impact lighting to minimize light pollution in the adjacent residential zones.
Eko-Bereg is a modernized waterfront park located along the canalized section of the Moskva River in Khimki. The park features a continuous promenade paved with wooden decking and asphalt paths extending along the water's edge. Facilities include multiple themed playgrounds, designated outdoor fitness zones, and cycling paths that connect to the wider Khimki park network. The area serves as a primary recreational hub for the local residential district, integrating natural landscaping with urban infrastructure. Recent developments have focused on ecological restoration of the shoreline and the installation of modern lighting systems. A network of bridges and pedestrian walkways facilitates movement between the riverfront and elevated residential sections.

Avoid cycling on paths explicitly marked for pedestrians during peak weekend hours to prevent collisions.
Maintain noise levels during late hours to respect nearby residential apartments; keep dogs on a leash.
