A sports complex was built on the territory of the recreation center "SOYUZ" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia (Schelkovskoye Highway, 39 km), in which the water park was not originally intended. However, the director decided to take a chance and decided to reconstruct, including the construction of an aqua park, which would attract more tourists. So, thanks to the efforts of Nikolay Guba, the director of the recreation center, and architect Tamara Kotova, a fabulous water park of 720 square meters was born, which includes: a swimming pool with three swimming lanes, a waterfall, a springboard, a countercurrent, geysers, a 23-meter river, and a children’s paddling pool, mountain waterfall, hydromassage, Kamikaze slide and two slides for children. The total height of the room is 7 meters, and at the level of 3.5 meters there is a balcony, where professional equipment of the company PARAMANT is installed. There is also a bar, saunas and a solarium. Due to its versatility, the first water park in the Moscow region attracts a large number of people who want to swim, regardless of the time of year.
