The idea to create a green park on the former monorail route received support from over 71% of city residents in a vote on the «Active Citizen» portal. The park is scheduled to open in 2027. This new urban space will connect five districts, home to 300,000 people.
Travel along this corridor will continue thanks to Moscow’s extensive transport network. Today, the monorail has convenient and fast alternatives, including new metro and Moscow Central Circle (MCC) stations, as well as trams and electric buses—many of which partially duplicate its route.
The monorail was built over 20 years ago but never fully realized its potential as a transport link. Scheduled inspections revealed the need for major repairs.
Now, the monorail can be given a second life by updating its infrastructure and creating a beautiful new park space for Moscow residents.
The modern, unique park will offer free, round-the-clock entry. It is expected to attract up to 20,000 visitors a day—ten times more than the monorail ever served.
For the first time in Russia, a 4-kilometer-long running track will stretch the entire length of the park, six meters above ground, enabling active recreation in any weather, along with peaceful walking areas. Everyone will be able to run their own «mono-race» here. The park will also offer stunning views of the VDNKh area and the Ostankino Tower.
