Weather this year, few people are happy. But all the same, it's a sin to sit in four walls! Parents usually complain that every walk with the child flies in penny: the attractions are expensive now. But there are places where you do not have to spend a penny. Now, good playgrounds with original attractions have appeared in many parks.
VDNKh

Therefore, it is quite logical that all its elements are related to the exploration of the cosmos. Children play and at the same time learn something about traveling to the stars. Moreover, all the attractions have signs. The two coolest slides, pipes for older children, are made in the form of a carrier rocket "Vostok" and the ship "Progress". From one to the other you can move over the mesh tunnel. There are also lazalkas - the first satellite and a lunar rover and rocking pens in the form of dogs. Squirrels and Arrows for the smallest. My daughter was not dragged. For adults, there are benches around the perimeter. The main disadvantage is that the site is too far from the central entrance. Another territory for children, the "Fantastic City", is next to the chess club at VDNKh. Here the main element is a seven-meter tower with a climbing wall, a hill and blades, spinning in the gusts of the wind. How to get: Art. m. "VDNH".
Gorky Park

A large slide is made in the form of a lighthouse, next to which there is a ship lying on its side, apparently the Titanic, and a giant red octopus, which is also a slide, stretches its tentacles towards it. The ladders are in the form of ropes. There are also some elements in the form of waves that are not very clear to me. Everyone can make up their own story about this playground. But the main thing is that you can and should climb everywhere (you can even go inside the ship), which children do with pleasure. The smallest ones can jump on the springs. In the evening, the playground is illuminated.How to get there: metro stations "Oktyabrskaya", "Park Kultury". The playground is located near the Golitsynsky pond.
Boring Garden
Once upon a time, in this place, behind house 24On Leninsky Prospekt, there were illegal garages that were dismantled a couple of years ago. And then the construction site was replaced by the children's playground "Construction Site". It is small, but its format is unique. The slide is an excavator, the ladder is a crane, the sandbox is a fragment of a future house. And if it is better for children to avoid construction sites, then everything is absolutely safe here. Usually the surface of children's playgrounds is made of rubber crumbs, and here it is earth, sand and wood shavings. If you walk from "Construction Site" into the depths of Neskuchny Garden about 500 meters (the landmark is the rotunda in honor of the 800th anniversary of Moscow), then unexpectedly among the trees you come across another playground. It fits very well into the landscape. All the elements are wooden. A climbing frame made of logs, a rotating table and "balance plates", an acoustic pipe that attracts adults more than children. How to get there: st. m. "Leninsky Prospekt" or "Oktyabrskaya", then to the stop "Ul. Stasovoy".
Tverskoy Boulevard
Photo:Vladimir ChizhikovA playground in the center is a rarity. And on Tverskoy there are two of them. At the very beginning of the boulevard, near the TASS building, a wooden sailboat is moored (again, a marine theme). There is a playground with swings, slides and rope ladders. A sandbox has been equipped for the little ones. Nearby, there is an area for children with disabilities. Opposite the Gorky Moscow Art Theater, there is a castle: wooden towers connected by obstacle courses. Climb them, slide down the slides, imagine that you are a knight storming an enemy fortress. The only unpleasant thing is that all the towers are covered in graffiti from the inside. And there are not enough benches for adults. How to get there: metro stations "Pushkinskaya", "Tverskaya", "Chekhovskaya".
Bauman Garden
The playground is divided into zones for children of different ages.age. There are several schools near the park. Inside there is a wall with tunnels and a ramp that you can drive up in a wheelchair. Children happily run along wooden platforms, storm them along rope ladders. You climb up and you can look at the world from above. This town again resembles a ship with portholes, binoculars and hanging ropes-vines. Part of the playground for the little ones is made more closed and protected. In the play area there are special exercise machines for children with disabilities. There is also a rope town, a sandbox, an amphitheater for staging performances. The only thing that bothers me is that all the walls are covered with graffiti, and they don’t look very nice. How to get there: Krasnye Vorota metro station.
Kuzminki Park

Doctors and psychologists, specialists from the International Institute of Games, took part in their development. The site is built in a spiral - the further from the entrance, the more complex the attractions. They are designed for ages from one to 15 years. Toddlers can develop fine motor skills and sensory perception, and teenagers can test the strength of the open-air game zone. In addition, the attractions are suitable for children with disabilities. There are always a lot of children here, even on a weekday.How to get there: Kuzminki metro station, behind the Vysota cinema.
Park on Poklonnaya Hill
Photo:Vladimir ChizhikovIt seems to be an ordinary children's town, but the designers found an original solution. The main element is a three-level tower guarded by Russian heroes, also known as a pipe slide. Unconventional swings, although sometimes it is unclear what kind of creature the designers created, a climbing frame in the form of a web. The labyrinth stands out separately - I have not seen anything like this in other playgrounds, they are usually placed in closed amusement parks. How to get there: metro station "Park Pobedy".
