Surely,you have heard of Moscow Kremlin and may have read about it through local guide @helga19 posts.
Today, I want to show you a new park adjacent to the kremlin and at the end, you might be convinced to visit it.
Zaryadye park has an long history behind it. It is located in what used to be an historic village and from
which it took its name.
You can further read about history of Zaryadye park on official website:

The main feature of the park is its facilities hidden under the landscape, while the park itself is divided into four climatic zones: forest ,steppe , tundra**,** and the floodplain . These zones are organized in terraces that descend from northeast to southwest, with each layering over the next to create a total of 14,000 square meters of enclosed, programmed spaces integrated into the landscape: nature and architecture act as one.
Visitors can enjoy a river overlook cantilevering 70 meters over Moskva River , media center, nature center, restaurant, market, two amphitheaters and a philharmonic concert hall.
Another advantage of the new park is a picturesque view of the Kremlin which visitors can enjoy from a floating bridge over the Moskva river
The Main Attractions at the Park… .
Floating bridge
The floating bridge is a thin air structure in the form of the letter “V” with a large outward extension above the water. It is a 70 meter structure without a single support. The bearing structure of the bridge is made of concrete and the decorative elements are made of metal and the deck is wooden.
Media Center
The Media Center covers an area of 8500 square meters. It exhibits Russian natural and architectural sights and covers various topics of the Russian history.
Ice Cave
The Ice Cave is stylized pavilion with an interactive exhibition which tells visitors about the history of development of the Russia Far North . In one part of the pavilion, a negative temperature is maintained. For the thickness of the ice, freezing of about 70 tons of water is required. During the day, the temperature in the ice cave remains above -2°C, and in the evening, it is above -5°C. The cover of the cave itself is a natural white colour.
The Concert Hall
The Concert Hall is a building under a glass dome with an organ and a stage-transformer and is a multifunctional concert venue. The building is set into the hill and it is possible to walk along its roof. Only the glass facade remains open.
Amphitheatre
The large Amphitheatre adjoins to the Philharmonic and it is covered with a dome, the so-called glass bark, to protect the audience from the rain. The amphitheatre is a stepped landscape design descending from the hill to the stage. The spots are made of wood. The paths between the rows are filled with small pebbles and become part of the drainage system. The amphitheatre organically fits into the natural landscape of the park. The large open amphitheatre in Zaryadye can accommodate 1500 spectators.
