The district borders theTagansky District of theCentral Administrative District in the north, theDanilovsky District of the Southern Administrative District in the west, and theNagatinsky backwater of the Southern Administrative District in the south, with the Pechatniki andNizhegorodskiy districts in the east.
The Yuzhnoportovy District lacks large green spaces. However, it is home to one community park, Bogatyrsky Park, and several smaller squares.
Bogatyrsky Park is a landscaped area along the embankment of the Kozhukhovskiy Zaton (near Trofimova Street). The park was established in 2019 as part of the "My District" program aimed at improving urban environments.[4] The development took into account the wishes of local residents. The design concept was presented by the company "Arkhkom" (with OOO "Teplosnabinzheniring" as the project developer). The park features a waterfront promenade and several recreational areas located on a higher tier near residential buildings.[5] It includes a children's playground, a sports area, and quiet relaxation spots. A distinctive feature of the park is the life-size sculptures of ancient Russian warriors.
Trofimov Square is a landscaped area on Trofimova Street, located opposite the "Svoboda" cinema (Trofimova Street, 17). It was developed in response to requests from local residents and is considered a "people's park".[6] The square is named in honor ofVladimir Trofimov, a Hero of theSoviet Union and infantryman who lived on Trofimova Street (then called 3rd Kozhukhovskaya Street) beforeWorld War II.[7] The square features a fountain, a playground, and a monument to Vladimir Trofimov—a bust on a granite pedestal—installed in 2019.
Square on Pyotr Romanov Street is located opposite Library No. 121 (Pyotr Romanov Street, 6). It was renovated in 2019 as part of Moscow MayorSergei Sobyanin's "My District" program.[8] The square's highlight is a fountain adorned with a sculpture of a character from Pamela Travers' novelMary Poppins.
Square nearDubrovka Metro Station is a 3.4-hectare area stretching along Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street (opposite the Dubrovka shopping center). For some time, it served as a transit zone to the Dubrovka metro station. After its renovation in 2017, the square gained a comfortable walking infrastructure, including benches, a children's playground, a workout area, and a stage for public events. The square is enhanced by a light and music fountain.[9]
Square on Simonovsky Val Street is a city square located opposite house No. 9 on Simonovsky Val Street. It was renovated in 2019 as part of the "My District" program. The square's centerpiece is a dry fountain featuring a sculpture of lovers under an umbrella, an idea proposed by local residents.[10] The renovation also included improvements to the walking paths and the installation of small architectural forms.
