Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo Park is also known as the Pokrovskoe-Glebovo Park. The origins of the park go back to at least the late-16th century when an estate was established here. The Intercession Church at Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo was built here in 1629. In 1664 the estate was sold to the Streshnev family. In 1738 Pyotr Streshnev inherited the estate and began to develop it by completing in 1766 a new estate house, which Empress Catherine the Great even visited. In 1803 the male line of the Streshnev family died out and the estate was inherited by a daughter whose descendants were known as the Glebov-Streshnev family (hence the park's alternative name). Between 1803 and 1806 the estate house was demolished and a new one was built in the empire style.

After the revolution the whole estate was nationalised, the Intercession Church was closed and the estate's territory was turned into a park for workers. The main house was briefly used as a museum, but this too was closed in 1923 and it was later turned into a civil aviation research institute.  However after a fire in 1992 the house was completely abandoned. Today the south-west part of the park remains occupied by the Intercession Church (reopened in 1994) and the abandoned estate house, while the rest of the former estate has been developed as a park with forest areas and several ponds created on the River Chernushka which flows through it. It is not permitted to swim in the ponds here for health reasons, but you will usually see people swimming here despite the warning.
