Medvedkovsky forest park shish kebabs. There are six picnic areas where you can barbecue in the northeastern district. Nearest metro stations: "Izmailovskaya" and "Pervomaiskaya"

For Alexey and Nastya from house 102B on Altufevskoye Highway, to find themselves at a picnic, they just need to leave the entrance and walk a hundred steps deep into the forest park that is right in front of their windows. On a rectangular area among the trees there is a table, a place for barbecue, and a trash can. The guys brought with them not only meat, vegetables, bread, skewers, coal and dishes, but also a dozen “rubber chairs and multi-colored inflatable balls,” writes “ Vestnik Severnoe Medvedkovo".

We’ll be celebrating a friend’s birthday, but on weekends we have to come early, otherwise the place will be taken,” says Anastasia.

There are six such points in the Altufevsky reserve. The part is located on two clearings closer to Leskova Street, you can come here even without your own barbecue, there is a public one here. There are usually 4-5 companies seated at the tables.

Those who come when everything is already occupied go further to the gazebos, which are also used as a picnic area.

And here is the Lianozovsky forest park. The signature method of residents of Pskovskaya and Cherepovetskaya streets who go to barbecue at the local reserve is to cover the picnic gazebo with film so that the wind and smoke from the barbecue do not interfere. Here the “kebab” points are not so crowded; some are hidden in the thick of the forest. If it weren't for the smell of fried meat, you wouldn't find it.

There are many trash cans and containers in the park, including for separate waste collection, and toilet stalls are installed.

Visitors to the Otrada park on the border of the industrial zone on Novovladykinsky Proezd and residential area at the beginning of Dmitrovskoye Highway, you are met with a stern announcement at the very entrance. It threatens a fine of 3 to 4 thousand rubles for lighting a fire and using barbecues outside special areas - “according to the Moscow administrative code, article 3.20.”

But there is no need to run into a fine: in the ravine along the Likhoborka River there are a dozen specially equipped sites. On each there is a table under a canopy, benches, a compacted circle for barbecue, and trash cans. Those who do not have enough space are located on wide parapets, the barbecue is placed directly, but on the path.

You can’t put a barbecue on wooden flooring - it’s a fire hazard, but on paving stones - why not? Please! - say the guards.
The ravine is narrow, everyone is in sight of each other. It disciplines. Most people take the trash with them when they leave. It can be
leave it - in a tied bag, of course - behind the utility block near the bridge.

In the new recreation area at 62–64 Selskokhozyaystvennaya, there are large picnic areas - one for 20, the other for four large tables with long benches for eight to ten people. On top is a canopy from rain and sun. For every two tables there is one wide grill, a little to the side there are trash containers.

We don’t have a dacha, we go here almost every weekend,” says Elena Vdovina from Zapovednaya Street. “We used to grill kebabs closer to the house, but someone would definitely come out there and start screaming, like, there’s smoke, there’s a smell.” And here everything is adapted for this.

Near the picnic area there is a children's and sports grounds, and there is parking. Large companies like to come here to celebrate weddings, anniversaries, and corporate events.

This year, there are six zones in North-Eastern Administrative District where special picnic areas have been set up,” said Lyudmila Mikhailova, press secretary of the Department of Specially Protected Natural Areas (SPNA) for North-Eastern Administrative District. - You can’t light a fire or fry meat anywhere else.
The previously operating picnic areas on Dzhamgarovsky Pond and in the green area near Sukhonskaya Street are currently closed. There were many complaints from residents of nearby houses about smoke and the smell of frying meat. Picnic equipment at these points has been cut off and the sites have been dismantled.

Sunny warm weather and fresh summer air are conducive to traditional national holiday in the lap of nature - cooking barbecue. But what to do if you don’t have a dacha and you don’t have enough time to travel outside the city? There are many places in Moscow (mostly free) where you can fry meat and all the necessary conditions have been created for this.

Serebryany Bor

This popular holiday destination, located in the west of Moscow, is famous for its good ecology and picturesque landscapes. Every year, the number of picnic areas and gazebos on the territory of the forest increases (this year there are already more than two dozen), perfect for barbecuing and with all the necessary infrastructure - tables and benches, barbecues and trash cans, as well as dry closets nearby.

However, the influx of holidaymakers is also growing here. Therefore, finding a place to relax is becoming an increasingly difficult task. To take advantage of the free sites with the best views (for example, of Bottomless Lake), you will most likely have to come here early in the morning. An option for those who are not economical is paid VIP tents and gazebos.

How to get there: Polezhaevskaya metro station, then a half hour ride by trolleybuses (No. 20, 21, 65 or 86) or minibuses (No. 20, 190 or 593) to the Serebryany Bor stop.

Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo

The park called “Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo” is located just a few kilometers northeast of Serebryany Bor. It is famous for its clean spring, from which you can even drink without much fear for your health, the diversity of flora and fauna, and an abandoned estate with an old park. Among the ponds there are several picnic areas equipped with everything necessary (gazebos, barbecues, tables) for preparing meat delicacies. You can only relax in silence in the park on a weekday, and even then with a low probability. On weekends, this place is occupied by crowds of vacationers who are ready to do anything for the best kebab places.

How to get there: The place is within walking distance from the Shchukinskaya metro station.

Kuzminki-Lublino

The territory of the Kuzminki-Lublino park is large and divided into three parts - cultural (church, old manor and museums), leisure (attractions, beach, cafe, boat station) and forest (walks among lindens and ancient oaks). A large number of picnic areas are located on the shore of Shchuchye Lake and near the Shibaevsky Pond.

Here everyone chooses a site according to their taste: a gazebo, a canopy, benches with tables or ordinary stumps. In many places, barbecues have already been installed, but not everywhere. However, everything you need for a picnic is available for rent here. Moreover, you can agree on it in advance, having previously agreed on all the conditions by phone. The disadvantages of vacationing in Kuzminki can be competing vacationers and an abundance of garbage.

How to get there: The place is located not far (about two kilometers on foot) from the Kuzminki metro station.

A picnic can be combined with active recreation- tourists praise local cycling routes. You can rent a bicycle here in the same way as a children's electric car or golf cart. Cons: inconsistent toilets and a lot of competition for best places, especially on weekends. There are also picnic points a few kilometers from here - along Vilisa Latsis Street in the Aleshkinsky Forest Park.

How to get there: The place is located close (about 1-2 kilometers on foot) from the Planernaya metro station.

Troparevsky Park

This place is somewhat inferior to its neighbors in terms of amenities and relaxation comfort. And this is its main charm.

There is also less competition for picnic places, of which there are about two dozen - with gazebos, tables and, as a rule, high barbecues. In short, an excellent option for those who are willing to endure some inconvenience ( hiking to your destination from the metro, mosquitoes, lack of a variety of entertainment and attractions, a small number of toilets) in order to isolate yourself from the bustle of the city.

How to get there: The park is located close (about two kilometers on foot) from the Yugo-Zapadnaya and Konkovo ​​metro stations.

The areas are equipped with tables and benches, canopies and barbecues. Each can accommodate about ten people. There are dry toilets nearby. Competition for these places is usually not very strong.

There are shops nearby. In other words, this is not the most common recreation area among vacationers, which will undoubtedly play into the hands of those barbecue lovers who get here.

Izmailovo

The picnic areas here are located not on the territory of the park of the same name, but in the nearby Izmailovsky and Terletsky forest parks.
