Ylham Park
Ylham seýilgähi
A fountain park and tree-lined avenue in the city centre, ringed by white marble buildings. It is a good place to experience local nightlife and evening strolls.
Ylham Park lies near the Russian Bazaar in the city centre and was built around 2007. Its centrepiece is a large multi-tiered cascading fountain. Tree-lined avenues on both sides are lined with sculptures, flowerbeds and benches. At night, lights and musical fountains draw many families. Surrounding it are government offices and marble apartment blocks, which show Ashgabat's tidy and uniform urban character. At night, avoid pointing cameras at government buildings and guards.
