First President Park

About the place

The park is fully closed for reconstruction, according to the city notice of 8 September 2026. The reopening date will be announced separately.

About this place

The park is closed to visitors: on 8 September 2026, the city announced a full closure for reconstruction. A reopening date will be announced separately. Earlier information about partly accessible areas should no longer be used to plan a walk inside the park.

Opened in 2010, the park lies by Al-Farabi Avenue and Dulati Street. Its layout includes a central avenue, a fountain complex and mountain views. These features explain its appeal, but postpone a visit until a new official announcement confirms access.

Visiting tips

Do not plan a walk inside the park until reopening is announced; check the city’s latest notice.

Before a future trip, look for an official reopening announcement rather than relying only on older photographs and reviews.

For now, choose another park or city walk and do not plan a route through the fenced area.
