Moscow executives consider construction of a subway station for an amusement park at the Mnevnikovskaya Flood Plain, Izvestia reports.
The idea to build the park was born in the 1990s. Zurab Tsereteli acquired land and planned to build a center for ethnography, amusements and a sports complex for children covering 34,000 square meters.
Tsereteli gave the land away in 2007. A tender was held in 2012 to renovate the Mnevnikovskaya Flood Plain. The Moscow Amusement Park of the Kiyevskaya Ploshchad owned by Goda Nisanov and Zarakh Iliyev (both from Azerbaijan) from Krasnaya Sloboda in Azerbaijan is one of the three winners of the tender. The project includes construction of hotels, town houses and apartments, trade centers, winter gardens on 1 million square meters.
City-Park Poteshny of Ingeocom-Invest is a project to build amusement centers, hotels, restaurants and low-storey housing. SNiP Proyekt proposed construction of a safari park.
Moscow authorities plan to build two subway stations. One of them is Nizhnye Mnevniki as part of developments until 2020. The other station will be Park Chudes. Alexander Kolontay, deputy head of the Science and Research and Project Institute for General Planning of Moscow, said that the stations may become new branches.
Park Chudes may be built in 2016-2017.
