The park is officially dedicated to Vasily Petrovich Velichko, a veteran and notable figure in the history of the Skhodnya settlement.
The facility is part of the larger 'Parks of Khimki' initiative, which manages recreational spaces across the urban district.
It sits on a historical area that has seen significant urban expansion from a rural settlement to a suburban microdistrict of Khimki.
Park Imeni Velichko is a municipal green space located in the microdistrict of Skhodnya in Khimki. The park is named after the Soviet war hero and local figure Vasily Velichko. It features paved walking paths, benches, and designated areas for community recreation. The landscape includes mature trees and open lawns designed for local residents. Recent municipal development projects have focused on upgrading the park's lighting and playground infrastructure. It serves as a central social hub for the surrounding residential area in Ruzino and Skhodnya. The park is integrated into the regional Khimki parks system.
