History of creation
The complex was defeated in 1961 and gave it the name Park XXII Congress of the CPSU. Later it was renamed into Troparevo park in honor of the district of the same name, along which there is a recreation area. The park complex was created in a forest, stretching from the ring highway into the interior of the Moscow region.
Initially, a central square was formed in it with six avenues diverging from it. Picturesque compositions from 40 thousand various trees were added to the main forest stand. In 1975 he was ennobled, creating a well-maintained recreation area. A dam was erected on the small river Ochakovka and a rather large pond with a beach was built. In the pond all year round fishing. The local catch consists of crucian carp, bream, roach and perch.
In spring, flocks of wild ducks fly here. These waterfowl live on the pond until the fall, until it comes time to fly south. They feed on fish, algae, crustaceans and nurture offspring. Numerous duck families with tiny ducklings glide along the water surface in early summer.
In 2002, the park zone was taken under protection and assigned status to it - the Troparevsky Nature Reserve. Territory and trees are constantly monitored. They maintain cleanliness, remove old and diseased forest stands, and periodically plant new plants. Two groves were formed in the mixed forest of the reserve - birch and pine.
