We were in Almaty for barely a few hours , and arrived at the park right before sunrise. The backdrop of the arched structure and the snow-clad park / mountains on a cold January morning , was perfect for our brief photo-op. Important tip : If going during winters , keep in mind that the entrance is a short 3-4 minute walk from the parking. So wear shoes that are safe to walk on snow.

I love the park, I love to stroll around the park. I specially love the pine tree zone. But I am very much concerned about the trees, lots of them were not any more in green. It seems to me lots of them were dead of a sort of dieses. I wish the park management take care of them soonest possible. And anoother thing I need to mark, is that there seems to be no water basin. I needed to wash my hand for some reason, but I couldn't find none of them nor a sign. Hope they have such public facilities.

Had a short visit to First President Park Nur Sultan. His house were he lives is very close to the park. Alma or Apple is located near the entrance. Huge fountain but now on when we visit. Huge statue of First president sitting in a couch. Pleasant visit.
