A beautiful park in the city. The huge arch shaped entrance makes the real difference. Very scenic place. The park behind is very big. Distance : ~10 km from city centre. Public bus is available and it stops the other side of the park. You can cross the over bridge to reach the park. Book Yandex for a convenient travel, which cost max 2500 KZT from city centre. My Visit Time: April 2024. There was no snow at this time. It was very sunny, and couldn’t include the snow mountains in the photos taken. Things to Do : A huge park for long walks. Beautiful water fountain, status of first president, multiple play area for kids. Grab an ice cream and take long walks in the park, walk through the woods, open area etc. Restroom : The rest room is available at the either side of the arch pillars. Stinky bathroom and charge for 100 KZT. There is another pay-and-use bathroom available aside the ice cream shop next to one of the kids play area, but that never works. Things to Note: 1. The park is very big and if you plan to cover the entire park be prepared for a long walking with necessary items. No restaurants available inside the park , except an ice cream shop at the kids area. 2. The park is a closed unit and if you want to exit in between, you need to go to any of the wickets (gate) available.

The park offers a delightful experience with its expansive grounds, perfect for leisurely strolls that rejuvenate the spirit. A definite highlight for anyone exploring Almaty, it's imperative to pinpoint the correct location on Yandex Go map to avoid confusion. Ensure you select "First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan" on the app to avoid any missteps, as we unfortunately experienced. Once there, marvel at the park's attractions, including a captivating fountain, picturesque mountain lake, and impressive artificial mountain range reaching heights of up to 24 meters. Families will appreciate the designated play area, while scenic pathways offer pleasant walks amidst charming surroundings. Note that the winter chill can be intense, particularly in February, so adequate preparation is essential. Spanning an expansive 9.5 hectares, this park promises an unforgettable outing for all visitors.

This is a really big and beautiful park, but pretty hard to reach. Have in mind Almaty is a vast city and distances are great - you need around half an hour taxi drive to reach it from downtown. The main entrance is through a huge massive curved colonnade, after which is a monumental fountain (not working in Oct). To the right on an elevated spot is larger than life Nur Sultan sitting statue with a monument behind him depicting Kazakhstan development under his reign as a First President of independent Kazakhstan. From there several paths lead you to different parts of a really nicely manicured park, all the way to the opposite elevated spot with great mountain views. The only downside we found only one tiny coffee shop and restrooms by it

One of the city's popular park, what you should know before visit it: - It was opened in November 2011 in respect to the First President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev. - The park is the home of the annual music festival called “Almaty – my first love”. - It is about 1.5 km from one end to the other. - It has an impresived semicircular colonnade with a massive fountain (only work in summer time). - there are a few squirrells around the park. - Inside the park there is a hill with a panorama view on the top. It's not the best park in the world, but it worth to visit to enjoy a relax day with the mountains in background.
