Parks & gardens
Park named after the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Overview
Located in the Bostandyk district of southern Almaty, this urban park opened in 2010. It serves as a spacious green area with paved pathways, landscaping, and clear views toward the mountains. Travellers visit primarily for a quiet stroll away from heavy city traffic.
Getting There
The park sits in southern Almaty along al-Farabi Avenue. From the city centre, you can take a public bus or a taxi. A drive from central Almaty generally takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on road conditions.
Time to Spend
Plan to spend 1 to 2 hours on site, which gives ample time to walk the main paths and rest in the open grounds.
When to Visit
Late afternoon is ideal in warmer months to avoid midday heat. Late spring through early autumn provides the most greenery. The grounds frequently get crowded on weekends and public holidays with local families and event gatherings; weekday mornings offer the quietest experience.
