About the Park

Mozhayskaya Riviera Park, also known as the Russian-Belarusian Friendship Park, is on the edge of town, near the Luzhetsky Monastery. It stretches along the bank of the Moskva River and has become one of Mozhaysk's most modern public spaces. The grounds were recently landscaped, making them a pleasant place for walks and relaxing in nature. The park has footpaths, benches, gazebos and spacious playgrounds for children. In summer it hosts festivals, workshops and town celebrations.
