What the 2026 reconstruction means
The city describes a 62.4-hectare park opened in 2010, with a central avenue, fountains, an amphitheatre, walking areas and cycle paths. The 2026 reconstruction is phased: the southern section closes first while other areas remain open.
This is currently a changing park, so plan around construction rather than relying on an old map.
Planning your visit
Check the latest city notice and on-site signs before choosing an entrance. Do not cross construction barriers, and expect routes, facilities and views to change as sections reopen.
Access
Parts remain open while the southern section is renovated first.
Expect
Temporary closures, changed paths and construction activity.
Location
Bostandyk District near Al-Farabi Avenue and Dulati Street.
What to expect
Open sections still provide broad paths and mountain views, but the visit may be shaped by temporary fencing and works. Combine it with other plans in southern Almaty rather than crossing the city for one exact feature.
