The park was originally landscaped to serve athletes participating in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
The water bodies within the park are interconnected and function as a natural stormwater management system for the surrounding district.
The park's design incorporates the natural topography of the Ramenka River valley.
It is situated immediately adjacent to the former residential blocks built specifically to house international Olympic competitors.
Park Olimpiyskoy Derevni is a large-scale landscaped recreational area established in the territory of the former 1980 Olympic Village. The park features a complex system of interconnected ponds fed by the Ramenka River. Visitors can access a network of cycling and jogging paths that span the entire perimeter. The landscape includes tiered recreational areas and wooden footbridges crossing the water bodies. Several sports facilities, including basketball courts and workout zones, are integrated into the park’s northern sector. It serves as a significant green buffer within the Troparyovo-Nikulino district. Recent infrastructure updates have included the addition of modern playground equipment and improved lighting. The park occupies a terrain with natural elevation changes, providing varied perspectives of the water features.

The park paths are quite extensive; consider renting a bicycle or scooter if you intend to explore the entire area.
Bring mosquito repellent during the summer months, as the proximity to ponds can attract insects in the evening.
Visit the western section of the park for a quieter experience compared to the central recreational hubs.
Avoid relying solely on the park's internal signage for navigation, as some paths can be winding and confusing for first-time visitors.
No specific dress code, though athletic wear is encouraged; keep noise levels moderate in residential-adjacent areas.
