The park's name refers to the 'little oaks' (dubki) that comprise the remnants of an older forest once characteristic of the region.
The pond in the center of the park is part of a natural hydrographic network that historically drained into the surrounding lowlands.
The park acts as a significant 'green lung' for the densely populated Timiryazevsky district, counteracting urban heat island effects.
Park Dubki is a historical green space in the Timiryazevsky District of northern Moscow, named for the ancient oak grove that occupies much of the territory. The park features a central pond system surrounded by recreational pathways, sports courts, and children’s playgrounds. It serves as a local community hub, frequently hosting outdoor fitness classes and seasonal neighborhood festivals. The area is defined by its mature canopy, providing significant shade during summer months. In winter, the park maintains designated pathways for walking and often sets up small-scale seasonal ice rinks. The site has undergone modernization efforts to preserve its ecological character while integrating contemporary leisure infrastructure.

Visit during weekday mornings to avoid high traffic from local school groups and weekend family outings.
Use the dedicated wooden decking areas near the water for a quieter experience away from the main walking paths.
Avoid feeding the waterfowl in the ponds, as this disrupts the local ecosystem and violates municipal park guidelines.
