Located in the Medeu District, this urban park provides a green space for walking and resting away from the noise of Almaty's city traffic. It is primarily used by visitors and locals for leisure strolls and outdoor relaxation.

Getting There

The park is accessible from the city centre via taxi or public transport. Depending on the specific starting point and traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between 1 and 2 hours here, depending on whether they are simply passing through or taking a longer walk through the grounds.
