The Bogolyubskaya Church was built in 1906 with funds from timber industrialist Sharikov; the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands was built in 1912 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. The Mayakovsky Memorial Museum displays collected objects and documents about the poet’s life. Central Park and Serebryanka Park offer different leisure activities.

The construction dates of the two churches offer a simple basis for comparison. The Bogolyubskaya Church was built in 1906 with funds from timber industrialist Sharikov. The Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands was built in 1912 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. The construction dates are six years apart, but each church has a different historical connection: the history of the first is linked to Sharikov’s funding, while the second is associated with a dynastic anniversary. So when considering the two buildings, you can pay attention both to the year and to the occasion behind each one.

The Mayakovsky Memorial Museum displays collected objects and documents about the poet’s life. The house museum was established in 1969 and destroyed by fire in the 1990s. The history of the building at the Mayakovsky dacha also includes several fires: a fire in July 1991 was extinguished; another fire in 1997 completely destroyed the building. It was subsequently rebuilt.

In Central Park of Culture and Recreation, broad paths wind between tall trees. Its amenities include relaxation areas with swings and gazebos, children’s playgrounds, a skate park, and an event stage. There is also a café and a rental service for kick scooters, bicycles, and children’s vehicles. Walking paths, play and exercise facilities, and the stage contribute to the park’s varied offerings.

Serebryanka Park is located in the Dzerzhinets microdistrict of Pushkino. It features a landscaped riverside promenade for walking, children’s play areas, workout equipment, and table-tennis tables. Unlike Central Park, whose amenities include paths among tall trees and a range of leisure areas, this park’s main features are its riverside promenade and play and exercise facilities.

Park amenities and services such as the café and rentals may change. Check what is available before your visit if you plan to use them.
