Lesoparkovaya metro station (no address) is located on the Butovskaya line of the Moscow metro, between st. “Bitsa Park” and “Starokachalovskaya Street”.
The origin of the name is linked to Butovo Forest Park, near which it is located. On the city map, the station location coincides with the 18th microdistrict of the Yuzhnoye Chertanovo okrug, near the 34 km of MKAD (inside the ring). Nearby are the streets: Kulikovskaya and Polyany.
The Butovo line is the 12th in a row in the Moscow metro and includes seven stations. The line appeared in the early 2000s. Rail cars of the 81-740 / 741 Rusich model, which are manufactured at the Metrovagonmash enterprise, go along it.
Station history
The station is one of the last stops of the Moscow metro. It became the 194th stop of the Moscow Metro. The opening date of the Lesoparkovaya metro station is February 27, 2014. The start of construction work was in 2010. It was supposed to complete the process by December 2013. During the construction of this transport facility, an open method was used. Tunneling began in August 2012. When creating this transport facility, the recommendations developed by the Russian Institute for Transport Construction were taken into account. This allowed us to create a solid and reliable design.

The surroundings of the Lesoparkovaya station
The station surroundings, with the exception of individual remote high-rise buildings, have a rather dull appearance. Low buildings, individual trees, grass and wastelands, roads with poor quality coating, or lack thereof. In the background, the outlines of the forest are visible. Pass high voltage power lines.
There is no bus station near the Lesoparkovaya metro station (and its address).
In the future - the creation of a traffic intersection and the gradual development of the territory associated with the expansion of the city of Moscow.

Conclusion
The Lesoparkovaya metro station is a new Moscow metro station located on the southern outskirts of Moscow, near the Moscow Ring Road. It was built according to the modern model, but during the construction materials harmful to human health were used. The station surroundings at the time of opening and two years after it correspond to typical urban outskirts, with poor quality of pavement, high-voltage power lines, small industrial areas and a rather rural view of the surroundings.
The station itself is quite convenient and adapted for the reception of people with disabilities. And the presence of anti-slip coatings on the steps ensures safety during the movement of passengers. The station has 2 exits (pavilions), one of which was closed at the time of opening.
