In the administrative Eastern District of Moscowthere is a large forest area occupying an area of one hundred forty-one hectares - Terletsky Park. It is located on the territory of two districts - Ivanovo and Perovo. Part of this square is a monument and a magnificent example of landscape art of the eighteenth century. Terletskie ponds are located here.
A bit of history
Initially, this area belonged to the familymerchants of Terletsk. The last representative of this kind transferred his lands to the public together with the settlement "Novogireevo" built by him. Constant visitors of the park know that there are five ponds near the Serebryanka River - Terletsky pond Vostochny, Duck, Western, and Olkhovy and Kupalny. On the old maps, only three of them are visible: Duck, East and West. So it was until the seventies of the twentieth century.
Lower ponds located in the Black areastreams, appeared only in the second half of the last century. At this time, the decision of the Moscow authorities Terletsky Park was singled out from Izmaylovsky, and there they began to create a recreation area.
Formation of ecological balance
The last owner of the estate, AI.Terletsky, seriously engaged in hydrogeology. Planning the town of Novogireevo, he thought not only about the convenience of the inhabitants of the village, but also about the ecology of the environment. He wanted his ponds to be just as good as the Germans.
Noticing the propensity of ponds to waterlogging,Alexander Ivanovich began to form an ecological balance of the park. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the property of the cattail was noticed (many call it reed, although it is not true) to purify water. Terletsky in Kuzminki excavated the cattail, where it was very much, and planted in ponds. In addition, a network of canals for the purification of rainwater was laid along the park. Remains of this system can still be seen in the eastern part of the park today.
Thanks to the measures taken, by 1910, the water in the ponds had been significantly cleared.
