The park is located on a peninsula formed by a large bend in the Moscow River known as Strogino Bay.
The water basin in Strogino is one of the deepest sections of the Moscow River, making it a training ground for professional scuba divers and water rescue teams.
A portion of the park is integrated into the larger Moskvoretsky Nature Park, protected as a regional natural monument.
The area is a recognized hotspot for migratory birds, particularly during the spring and autumn seasons.
The sandy coastline is artificial, created during extensive landscaping efforts to manage the riverbank in the late 20th century.
The park contains specialized windsurfing schools that operate seasonally depending on wind conditions in the bay.
Stroginsky Park is a sprawling recreational waterfront area situated along the Moscow River in the Strogino district. The park is characterized by its extensive sandy beaches, which are among the few designated swimming areas within the Moscow city limits. It features a diverse landscape of manicured lawns, paved cycling paths, and preserved pine forest clusters. The terrain is largely flat, providing unobstructed views across the river toward the residential skyline and the Krylatskoye district. Recreational facilities include specialized zones for windsurfing and wakeboarding due to the river's consistent water conditions. The park serves as a hub for both passive sunbathing and active water sports throughout the warmer months.

Carry sunscreen and a portable shade solution, as many sections of the beach are fully exposed to the sun with limited natural canopy.
Attempting to swim in areas marked with 'No Swimming' signs, as these sections often have strong currents or submerged obstacles.
