First President's Park
Парк Первого Президента
A large landscape park at the foot of the mountains to the south of the city, with a white colonnaded gate, a musical fountain and a straight central axis pointing toward the snow-capped mountains.
The park opened in 2010 and covers about 70 hectares. Visitors enter through a white Neoclassical colonnaded gate. The central axis is lined with fountains, water channels and sculptures, and it ends at the snow-capped Zailiskiy Alatau mountains, creating a very photogenic composition. There is also a Japanese garden and large lawns. Admission is free, and it is ideal for an evening stroll of about 1 to 1.5 hours. It is on the south side of Al-Farabi Avenue, about 8 km from the city center, so taking a taxi is recommended.
