Marc Chagall Riverfront Park sits alongside the Moscow River, framing ZIL Peninsula, an emerging neighborhood constructed on the grounds of a former car plant within Moscow city. While the park serves as a key public space for the neighbourhood, and meets the recreational needs of residents, it also became a destination on the city-scale level. It is a part of a bigger initiative “Moscow Future Ports”, a holistic re-thinking and transforming the banks of the Moscow River.

Currently the Moscow River is much disconnected from public life, banks are quite high, fenced,and look unwelcoming. The primary goal for reconstruction is to bring the river closer to the people, establishing a connection at an eye-level perspective, fostering public life, and offering a place for leisure, sport, play, and just to spend time in.

Stretching 3.8 km, ZIL Riverfront is a site requiring both a cohesive strategy and a human-scale approach.The park's overarching concept is built around "Four Lines" that represent four routes: Water-walk along the river, Sport route with jogging and cycling lanes, playgrounds, and workout spots, Rest-walk — an alley amid green hills providing a microclimate and wind protection — and Magnets, pavilions and plazas serving as vibrant social spaces to meet, dine, and rent sports equipment.

As a neighbourhood destination, the park aims to be a place where individuals can spend an entire day — whether it's a morning run, a coffee break, calls, quality time with kids, meetings with friends, or watching a sunset.
