The history of the creation of the recreation area
In the 1980s, active construction of residential districts in Maryino was carried out. On the site of the modern Brateevsky park then there was an unattractive wasteland, on which sand was actively mined. As a result of the excavation of a significant amount of soil, a gulf formed here, which existed until the beginning of the 2000s.
During the construction of the Lefortovo tunnel , it was decided to improve the Brateevskaya embankment. They brought soil that was released during the work. The bay was filled up, an original relief was formed with an abundance of terraces and hills. It was decided to turn this place into Brateevsky cascade park. The grand opening of the recreation area took place in 2006.
The first trees were planted on the territory, stairs with ramps, tiled walkways, lanterns and urns appeared. Quite quickly, the recreation area began to be popular among residents of the nearest housing estates. However, the park did not receive enough care. Quickly, the recreation area began to litter and lost its original picturesque appearance.
