🌳 Terletsky forest park: oak grove and ponds

Терлецкий лесопарк

A cascade of five ponds on the Chyorny Stream and a relict oak grove where some oaks are over 300 years old.

The 141-hectare forest park was officially separated from Izmailovsky Park in 1972.
The name comes from the surname Torletsky, the owners of the local Gireyevo estate from 1852 until the revolution (it is often distorted to "Terletsky").
Part of the alley from Svobodny Prospekt is a fragment of the old Vladimir Road.
From the 1920s the Red Army's service dog-breeding school trained dogs in the oak grove; in 2009 sculptures by Salavat Shcherbakov were set up to honor it and the road.
The five ponds, covering 11.6 hectares in total, appeared between the 18th and early 20th centuries; they are declared a natural monument.
The two golden oak branches on the coat of arms of the Ivanovskoye district symbolize the Terletsky oak grove.
