🌳 Babushkinsky Park

ул. Менжинского / Ленская ул.

A small neighborhood park with walking alleys, sports grounds and lawns.

The park was laid out in 1898 when the Losinoostrovsky dacha village was planned — "one verst long".
In 1905 the local Improvement Society built a summer theater, a winter pavilion and tennis courts here.
It received the status of a park of culture and leisure in 1955; at the same time a monument was erected to the polar pilot Mikhail Babushkin, after whom the town of Babushkin was named.
A writers' alley with busts of Russian writers headed by Pushkin was laid out perpendicular to the central alley.
The Arktika cinema at the park's corner was built in 1967 and rebuilt as a cultural center in 2024–2026.
