Vodnyi Stadion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vodnyi Stadion (Russian: Водный стадион, literally Water stadium) is a station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. It was built in 1964 according to the standard pillar-trispan design. The pillars are clad in bluish marble and the walls are tiled in white with two stripes of blue at the base. The two entrances to the station are located near the intersection of Kronshtadtsky Bulvar and the Golovinskoye Shosse. The architects for this station were N.I. Demchinskiy, Yu.A. Kolesnikova, and M.F. Markovskiy.
The station is named for the Water Stadium at the nearby Moskva River. The stadium is currently mostly abandoned.
