Historical background
Until 2012, in the Dmitrovsky district of the Northern Administrative District of the capital, there were three separate green areas close to each other: Korovinsky Park, Apple Garden or Dmitrovsky Park and VISHOM Park. These places have been leading their modern history since the 60s of the last century. Fruit orchards of the Moscow Institute of Agricultural Engineering were laid out on the green territory. The old-timers of the district remember the time when it was very inexpensive to buy delicious fruits and berries on the site of the modern Angarsk Ponds.
Spirkov Vrazhek stream flows here, which is a tributary of the Likhoborka River. In the 1960s, the source was enclosed in an underground collector. The Spirkov Vrazhek Stream feeds two ponds, their modern names are Big and Small Angarsk ponds. It is in honor of the reservoirs that the whole recreation area got its name.
The territory was completely open for walking and recreation of citizens in the 1990s. At about the same time, the banks of reservoirs were landscaped and raised. In 2008 and 2012, the park was reconstructed and merged. Today it is an excellent natural recreation area equipped for walking, sports and entertainment.
