A foothill cultural park completed in 2024 to mark the 300th birth anniversary of the national poet Magtymguly, with a tall statue of the poet at its centre.
Magtymguly Pyragy was an 18th-century Turkmen poet and thinker, regarded as the father of Turkmen literature. To mark the 300th anniversary of his birth in 2024, a large cultural park was built near the TV tower on the foot of Kopet Dag in the south of the city. A statue of the poet stands at the centre, surrounded by walkways, squares and fountains, with views over the city. The park is new, so facilities and opening arrangements should be confirmed on site. It can be combined with the TV tower and the Walk of Health.
