Moscow parks are getting some finishing touches as they prepare for the start of winter: Gorky Park will be the first to open the new winter season on 17 November, and on 26 November, other parks will follow.
The winter season in Moscow parks will begin with the opening of artificial ice rinks. The first to open will be the ice rink at Gorky Park and Sokolniki.
On 26 November, many parks will host concerts, ice shows, performances by figure skaters, figure skating workshops, hockey matches and light shows.
Forty-five ice rinks, including 24 with artificial ice and 21 with natural ice, will stay open throughout winter in 30 parks. In total, parks will offer 107,000 square metres of ice to skate on.
All rinks will have skate rental shops, skate sharpening services, locker rooms and heated cafes. There are plans to open 12 figure skating schools, four of which will offer free training, and seven ice hockey schools, including five free schools.
