Design
The station was designed by architects N. Shumakov, G. Mun, and N. Shurygina and has a tri-vault column structure. Bittsevsky Park station walls and pillars are faced with deep pink marble and dark green metallic.
Bittsevsky Park has two entrances, but only one is in operation due to the relatively low number of passengers handled by the station each day. The active entrance is a part of a subway beneath Novoyasenevsky Avenue. The unused ground-level eastern vestibule sits further down the road, on the edge of the park. It is a round building, finished with grey marble and pinkish granite and topped with a disproportionately large weathervane. The exit stairs at the east end of the platform, which lead to this vestibule, are barricaded.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“Westerners inherit
A design for living
Deeper into matter—
Not without due patter
Of a great misgiving.”

“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
