In Angarskie Prudy Park, three kilometres of cycling routes run alongside the Large and Small Angarsky Ponds and the apple orchard. The water, garden and physical activity come together to shape the landscape here. The park is also home to the Angarsky BMX velodrome—a distinctive sporting feature alongside the waterside routes.
Ponds, cycling routes and a sporting history
The two ponds also have a history as a landscaped setting: the Lianozovo state farm created them on the Spirkov Vrazhek stream. Today they are called the Small and Large Angarsky Ponds. As you explore the park, you encounter not only two named bodies of water, but also a landscape whose origins are connected with the history of the state farm.
Another historic change took place in 2012, when Dmitrovsky Park was incorporated into Angarskie Prudy Park. The Angarsky BMX velodrome was established no later than the early 2000s and is overseen by the Nagornaya specialised children’s and youth Olympic reserve sports school. Together, the ponds, cycling routes and velodrome showcase different aspects of the park, from its landscaped setting to BMX sports.
At the Large Angarsky Pond, boats and pedal boats could be rented daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. from April through the end of September in 2024, according to the park operator. If you’re planning a trip on the water, check the current hours before your visit.
Different features of the parks
Vagonoremont Park offers a different focus: it has a stage, children’s playgrounds and sports grounds. If you’re choosing parks based on their specific features, these facilities are the main draw here; in Angarskie Prudy Park, the focus is instead on the ponds, cycling routes and BMX velodrome. The two parks can therefore be distinguished by the features described for each.
Getting around Dmitrovsky District
Dmitrovsky District is served by Yakhromskaya and Lianozovo metro stations on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line. Many district residents can reach these stations on foot. Both are important reference points for getting around the area, while your choice of starting point will depend on your own travel plans.
Lianozovo station on Moscow Central Diameter Line 1 has also changed: it was moved closer to Dmitrovskoye Highway. This is separate from navigating the area by metro on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line, and adds to the picture of the district’s transport infrastructure.
Electric buses have replaced trolleybuses in Dmitrovsky District. The bus shelters offer Wi-Fi access and places to charge devices. As these services may change, check locally for the latest information if needed.
Cycling infrastructure is also being expanded in the district, with cycling routes, additional bicycle parking and bicycle rental stations. Alongside the specific routes described in Angarskie Prudy Park, these are further examples of cycling development in the area; individual facilities may change.
