The Baryshikha River, 3 km long, flows throughout the park. In addition, there are Bolshoi and Maly Penyaginsky ponds in the park. The arrangement of the park began in 2003, and since then the park has improved significantly, now it is a great place for family weekends, walking with children or spending time with friends. By decision of the local authorities, the park was given the status of a historical monument and construction was prohibited on the territory of this area, since many monuments with a thousand-year history were found in the park.

Basically, the park consists of a forest that is equipped with lawns for picnics, paths for walking, walking bridges that lead you through reservoirs and bike paths.

One of the impressive places of this park is the Penyaginsky Pond. This place is located in the center of the Mitino Landscape Park. The reservoir got its name from the village of Penyagino, which used to be in the park. In 1985, the village was demolished, but the name remained on the map of the area. The water area of ​​the pond covers an area of ​​about 6 hectares.
