For some time now, Muscovites and guests of the capital have a good place to spend a day off. This is the Meshchersky recreation area in the west of the capital. A couple of years ago, through the efforts of the municipal authorities, it was equipped in the area of the Meshchersky Pond, which until recently was in a state of abandonment. And the theme of summer holidays in Moscow is highly relevant. Especially for those who, according to working conditions, are deprived of the opportunity to break out of the boundaries of the metropolis. Especially when the summer is hot, and the thermometer column fluctuates somewhere around the thirty-degree mark.
Recreation area "Meshcherskoe"
The entry into operation of the existing urban recreation infrastructure should be considered only as the first step taken in the right direction. Muscovites have long needed such places of rest. Their number was significantly behind the minimum necessary. Many who have had a chance to spend a hot Sunday evening here have a reasonable question: why is this all created just now, and not much earlier? It cannot be said that the Meshchersky recreation area would require extremely large financial investments in its creation, maintenance in a dignified form and further development.
Made in the area of the Meshchersky pond only the most reasonable and necessary. The beach is strewn with fresh river sand, benches, awnings and changing cabins are installed. For lovers of more active recreation, a volleyball court is equipped and table tennis tables are available . Let not fully, but equipped with parking for vehicles at some distance from the coastline. So the first experience of translating such a recreational project into reality should be recognized as positive. This is confirmed by everyone who happened to visit the Meshcherskoye. They liked the beach, and there are not so many similar places within Moscow.
Any positive urban development experience deserves to be developed and further extended both to other areas of the capital and to the near Moscow region. A fairly stringent control over the state of the water and the forested area surrounding the Meshchersky Pond should also be attributed to the positive experience. In both this and last years, the Meshchersky recreation area was officially certified by the relevant supervisory authorities. The water in the pond is recognized as suitable for swimming without any restrictions. Further monitoring of the reservoir and the ecological state of the adjacent territory will be conducted in the most rigorous manner.
