First Presidents Park, Almaty

First President's park is another standard park in Almaty but is unique because of a very large entrance with gigantic pillars and arch.

First President's park is slightly away from city center- we can reach there using bus number 66, 15 etc

First President's park has a large entrance- with 2 apple statues, a fountain area, a gate with huge pillars etc.

Restrooms are available near entrance, fee 50 KZT

In case of heavy snow there is a covered area to sit and relax

Once inside, it is a standard park with walking paths, kids play area, sitting area etc. 

There was a fountain area, not operational

We can enjoy view of the mountain in background.

When I visited everything was white because of snow. View will be different and colourful in summer.

Enjoying standing on ice and cracking it open. Watch the video below

Saw this on a table- looked like chennemane

Nothing else to see or do closer to First President's park. Almaty's Botanical Garden is few kms away.
