Best Playgrounds – Outdoor

Moscow is very child friendly and this is visible by the the many, very creative playgrounds throughout the city. Because it's not always clear where they are, we asked our friends which playgrounds they like best. Here we share them with you per neighborhood and we also tell you where to get a drink or a bite along the way.

GARDEN RING AREA

Delegatsky park (age 1-16)

This new playground is heaven for kids as it has a lot of different options, from football courts, to climbing, sliding and a cable track. In the winter they will make it into a great winter playground, so bring your sledge!

Location: Delegatskaya Ulitsa, Delegatsky park, close to Hermitage garden

Cafes: "Da Pino" Italian restaurant with kids masterclasses, playroom and animators

Hermitage Garden (age 1-5)

This park has the perfect downtown location, close to Patriarchy Pond and Tealtranya. Therefore options are limitless when it comes to nearby cafe's and restaurants. The playground is nice for the really young ones, up to age 6 and it also has a kids theatre. In winter there's an ice rink and throughout the year there are many activities&festivals.

Location: Ulitsa Karetnyy Ryad 3

Cafes: Teatralnya area or Veranda 32.0 inside the park

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
