The Park named after the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an arboretum in the city of Almaty, located at the intersection of Navoi street and al-Farabi Avenue in Bostandyk district. The Park has been open since July 2010.The creation of the Park began in 2001. First of all, the main elements of the arboretum were divided into alleys, boulevards, and dendrological sections. According to the dendrological plan, green spaces were planted. Poplars were planted around the perimeter of the Park, and elms, oaks, hawthorns, and chestnuts were planted inside the Park. Also in the Park in 2001, the first President Nursultan Nazarbayev personally planted an oak tree.An entrance group with Propylaea was built at the main entrance to the Park, and a fountain was built just behind the entrance group. In the upper part, an observation deck is built, which is located on an artificially created hill with a height of approximately 12 meters.Great Park, you can have a great time, but the Park needs repairs, it would be nice to put drinking fountains. A good Playground, there is even a swing for the disabled who move in a wheelchair.Good place for walking. There are bike paths, and the sign does not apply to Cycling (I hope it does not apply to paths). Beautiful fountain complex. Beautiful park!
