Grew exhausted at your favourite fuggy gym? Here's the best place for running. The freshest air the city can possibly offer plus exact 4-km tarmac route with some 100-metre elevation gain/loss make it almost ideal for athletics. Go early morning or midday: evenings are crowded.
Very big park, nice one, but not overcrowded. People go there to have a rest and small picnics. Good view from park to the mountain range.

The park seems to be constantly closed. We travelled there twice, and both time they had some excuse to have it closed to general public. Very annoying, as it’s quite far from the centre
It's a very clean and nice park, it's very nice to go for a walk with the children, the view is beautiful, the fountains are also very beautiful, the scenery is just bright after this park, where there is also a walk, I advise everyone to take a walk in this park! But I want to say that it's a very bad rink. One stand costs 1000 tenge to rent, because children ride no more than 30 minutes. 🤯 There was also a situation where a child fell heavily and bumped very hard and could not get up 🤦 More than one employee did not come to help , but they were able to keep the parent away 🤦 What kind of skating rink I do not know 🤷 Do they want to kill the children 🤷
It is a very convenient park, in terms of the fact that you can sit on the grass there, have a picnic with children, coffee is sold at a kiosk, there are also playgrounds for children. You can run around the perimeter. There are a number of different cafes nearby. Georgian cuisine, Oriental cuisine, European cuisine. And of course, the air is much cleaner than in the lower part of the city.
We often come with the children to feed the squirrels, of which there are a lot.
It is a very large and beautiful park, entertaining with large trees, but otherwise a very interesting place. There are squirrels. There are many paths, a workout area and a playground. It is also interesting to note how to make a playground in the upper part of the park.
A very clean and green park with fresh air. It is very pleasant for the family to watch the sunset and the end of the blessed day in the evening. The roads and paths in the park are spacious, you can go jogging. The greenery in the photos from April 27, 2025.
Probably the best park in the city. It is quite large because it accommodates a large number of people during festive events. Lots of coniferous trees. There is a playground, coffee stalls and squirrels. We regularly go with the children to feed the latter.
A great place to relax. In the summer, feed the squirrels in the cool, sit on the grass, relax body and soul. And go ice skating in winter. By the New Year, beauty was made! Well done! But parking is always a problem!
Preferably more toilets and free of charge, few benches
There are a lot of green spaces, it's beautiful, but there are few flowers and the dune playgrounds are very sunny, you can make shadows, and the heat of the slides is just boiling water
A truly beautiful and large park.
Thank you for this opportunity to walk in the fresh air, observe the beauty, hear the birds singing, and play sports.
It's really not boring there, because the park is huge and very interesting!
I was there only this morning, it's a blessing, I advise everyone!
I was there once and it was sunny in the morning - stunning mountain views, jogging in a clean park, fresh air. By the way, there are a lot of people running and walking. There was no way to evaluate other attractions, but the park is still cool.
A wonderful park with magnificent views of the mountains! You should definitely walk to the rotunda and climb up to it, there is a beautiful view from there. Great photos are being taken here. There are also many benches for relaxing in the park, as well as a small Japanese garden. We were lucky, we saw a live pheasant))
A great place to relax. I advise everyone to visit. It's clean, lots of green trees, playgrounds for children, sidewalks. And a huge plus is the lack of scooters, cyclists and dog walkers.
Large green area, beautiful views from the observation deck. Fresh air, birds singing. I would like more playgrounds for children, very few benches, not everyone wants to sit on the grass. Huge empty undeveloped territories. There are few sports grounds.
The Presidential Park is beautiful and peaceful.
A great place for walking.
Clean, well maintained, lots of greenery.
Suitable for photography and recreation.
Favorite place in good weather.
Nice park!!! Everything is pleasant and peaceful here. Every time I come to Almaty, I come here for a walk. The atmosphere helps to distract yourself, get some fresh air!
A wonderful park for relaxing and walking alone or with friends or family. Long walking paths allow you to ride scooters)) The season adds its own flavor to every walk. And what a gorgeous view of the mountains!!!
The park was beautiful even in winter. The views of the mountains are amazing. The entrance to the new year is festively decorated. I liked the Japanese garden, rotunda, sculptures of horses and dogs
I really love this park. Big, spacious, fresh breeze from the mountains. I was at the skating rink recently. We enjoyed a walk in the park. He's very handsome in a winter outfit.
We really liked it... We didn't go through the whole park, but we were delighted by the scents of fresh flowers... Next time, we'll try to walk around the entire perimeter of the park... Everything is so beautiful and most importantly, the security of the infrastructure inspires confidence...
The park is simply magnificent! It's a little unkempt, there are no cosmetic repairs, but what plants, only good care would be needed, trees need to be treated, pines are dying, wonderful ideas in the design! Let's hope that the authorities won't let such an object go by itself, there are a lot of people coming from the other side of the city!
Greetings to you 🖐
The park is a great place to relax, quiet, fresh cool air, very beautiful view. There are bike paths, the park is generally monitored, benches and road surface are in good condition, there are playgrounds, small coffee shops for a snack. Parking is like everywhere else, you can't walk around, and parasites in the form of waistcoats sometimes come from the Alfarabi side.
It's a very beautiful place today we came to relax, there are a lot of family people relaxing, calmly, I really like it, we took food with us, had a good rest, the only thing that's bad is there's no bathroom, we have to go out and back again
A good place to go for a walk with your family. Parking in front of the park has become free, cool!
Stock up on food for the squirrels) you can have a picnic yourself.
It's a nice park, especially suitable for walking with children. The impression is good. Lots of trees and clean. The children are happy and come here every weekend.
Beautiful park. You can go for a walk with your family. The park is beautiful. It's really hard to find a peaceful place. Where you can be alone. Beautiful fountains and clubs
I went for a walk in the summer, everything is fine, the atmosphere, the clean air, the people, some take scooters, bicycles, roller skates and ride, everything is great!
In general, the park is very good: a huge space, the fir trees are in very good condition, a lot of squirrels. The park offers a magnificent view of the mountains. But there are more disadvantages: pomposity, a claim to some kind of incomprehensible greatness, the idea itself smacks of politicization. Moreover, it is impossible to walk in the park in clear, sunny weather: there is no shade anywhere. Finally, the dominance of unruly and ill-mannered children discourages any desire to come there again at the end of the walk. Being in this park, you feel as if you are on a giant hard platform: something like in "Mega", "Grand Park" or "Forum". The same contingent.
It's a very pleasant park. Mostly natural beauty - alleys of trees separated by flower beds. There is a beautiful fountain and entrance group at the entrance.
We had a great walk with friends. The park is huge! It is very good that with the scorching sun, there are benches, shade and water all around! We will be happy to visit again!
We like to just walk here, or come for a jog. Clean air in the city is a great way to breathe. The only thing is, there are often traffic jams in the parking lot.
A place where you can walk all day and not get bored. A huge, solemn fountain of incredible beauty. It's a pleasure to sit next to it and enjoy its coolness on a hot day. The pine forest deserves special praise. A lot of almost tame squirrels, pleases both children and adults. It is impossible to remain indifferent to these cute fuzzies. Feeding nuts by hand is a special pleasure. It is possible to sit in the shade of spreading trees, think, chat with friends at any end of the park.
It's a beautiful place to take a walk, we did a photo shoot.
We lived nearby, we didn't go often!
But the place is interesting!
Once I went with my husband, there was a group of tourists from China.
They asked us to take a photo)
We weren't surprised, they often take photos with us.
A favorite place that has a lot to do with it. Coming back here again and again, you experience the same emotions. A large long park, for those who like to walk for a long time. A view rotunda, sculptures and a mini Japanese garden. There are a lot of people walking. Weddings, children. Photographers appeared offering to take photos against the background of the mountains. There is a fountain in front of the park entrance. There is coffee, ice cream and more in the park.
A universal park, suitable for everyone.
I recently visited the Park named after the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty, and it was a great time! The park really impresses with its beauty and grandeur.
First, I walked under the arch, which is the entrance to the park, and immediately felt the atmosphere of solemnity and grandeur. The park turned out to be very spacious and green, with lots of trees, flower beds and flower arrangements. Walking along its alleys, I enjoyed the manicured lawns and the fresh air.
I especially remember the observation deck, which offers stunning views of the mountains. This is one of those places where you can just stand and enjoy the surrounding scenery, feeling calm and in harmony with nature.
I also noticed that the park has many areas for outdoor activities: running tracks, bike trails and playgrounds. This makes it a great place for a family vacation. I saw a lot of people who were doing sports, walking with children or having picnics. The atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed.
Overall, the visit to the park left me with extremely positive impressions. This is a wonderful place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy nature and just spend time outdoors. I will definitely come back here again!
Well, it is very well located.
There is Parking, it is always clean inside, there are good themed places, a lot of places for a photo shoot, inside there is a cafe where you can eat tea, coffee, ice cream, there are toilets, there are playgrounds for children, a lot of treadmills, a lot of greenery, squirrels,pheasants, ducks, too, all sorts of different birds.
It's not a shame to bring foreign guests.
In a word, I recommend it to everyone!!!
Nice park. It's a nice place to take a lot of steps. For those who value long walks, that's the thing. At the same time, it is easy to get there and leave. You can even take public transport.
