They all work within the system Mosparkovki, payment is accepted via terminals, SMS or mobile application. Average cost per hour in 2026: 120–150 rubles, but rates vary by zone.

If you pay for parking through the app, turn on low balance notifications - the system will automatically debit money from the linked card, and you won’t have to run to the terminal.

2. Free parking: where to look and what pitfalls

There are almost no free parking areas near Galitsky Park, but there are several "gray" areas, where you can leave your car without paying - if you know the rules. The main thing: avoid places marked with signs 3.27 (“Stopping prohibited”) or 3.28 (“Parking is prohibited”), as well as sidewalks and lawns. Penalty for violation - 3,000–5,000 rubles (Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Here 4 places, where drivers often park for free:

  • 📌 Veshnyakovskaya street, building 16–18 — along the road there are pockets without markings. The risk of a fine is minimal, but places are filled quickly.
  • 📌 Galitsky Lane, 3 - a small dead-end area where locals don’t mind parking. The main thing is not to block the exit.
  • 📌 Parking at school No. 1353 (Galitskaya St., 8) - the school is closed on weekends and places are freed up. But from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 15:00 to 16:00 it is better not to risk it - they may be evacuated.
  • 📌 Perovskaya street, 45 — further from the park (10–15 min walk), but there are almost always free places. Suitable for those who are ready to walk.

⚠️ Attention: In 2026, Moscow tightened control over parking on local areas. If a car is parked for more than 5 days in a row in one place without moving, it can be evacuated as “abandoned” (Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). To avoid problems, move your car at least once every 2-3 days.

Driver reviews show that the safest free parking is near the Pyaterochka store on Veshnyakovskaya, 22. They rarely check there, and there is enough space even on weekends. The downside is that it takes 12–15 minutes to get to the park.

Are you blocking the exit for other cars|Are there signs 3.27 or 3.28 within a radius of 50 meters|Are you standing on the sidewalk or lawn|Are you interfering with the work of special vehicles (ambulances, firefighters)|-->
