Previously the forest area belonged to a village Green Meadow in Minsk region. Now it is a full capital area with many advantages, including excellent infrastructure, clean air, Minsk center accessibility.

The forest park zone passes through almost the entire district. It includes Slepyanskaya water system: a variety of reservoirs and canals. During the USSR this construction of Belarusian architects was honored with The Lenin Prize, the highest award at that time.
