Central Park of Astana

 

The park offers a diverse range of attractions across its six distinct areas. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beach, stroll along the central alley, marvel at the dry fountain, explore the Olympians Square, and admire four sculptural mosaic compositions representing the four seasons.

One of the park's newest and most popular features is the dry fountain. Water streams emerge from beneath the ground plates, delighting children who eagerly run and chase the trickling water, only for it to disappear just as mysteriously.

Thanks to the addition of comfortable rubber tracks, the park has become a haven for sports enthusiasts. Young people actively engage in running along the tracks and utilize the street workout zone for their exercise routines.

Every weekend, the central alley hosts mass physical education classes. Starting from 10 am, there are exercises suitable for everyone, followed by three program options to choose from: crossfit, zumba, or jiu-jitsu. Best of all, these classes are completely free of charge.

Amusement rides and other entertainment

No park is complete without amusement rides, and this park is no exception. It boasts a variety of attractions, including roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, trampoline and rope parks, and carousels. Particularly noteworthy is the enchanting French Carousel, also known as the Carousel with Horses, which mirrors the one located near the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

For adrenaline enthusiasts, the Autodrom kart racing park awaits their visit. Children will find the "Funny Slides" mini roller coasters particularly enjoyable.

The Gummi Rope Park is a favorite among children and also serves as a venue for corporate events and team-building activities for adults. The park features two such rope parks, one smaller one near the pond designed for children, and a larger one situated behind the French Carousel, catering to adults.Центральный парк Астаны

Another attraction within the park is the Vysota trampoline park. This venue promises to bring joy to children, with a special pool filled with soft cubes for the youngest visitors aged 2 to 6.

Those seeking a more tranquil experience can unleash their inner artist by participating in an art activity. Choose a piggy bank or figurine to color it as your imagination guides you. You can take your finished masterpiece home.

Additionally, the park offers an amphitheater, a beach area, an outdoor pool, a scenic promenade with a food court, and even an upside-down house. Walk on the ceiling and take amazing photos to share on social media.

When it comes to dining, visitors can find a variety of options near the amphitheater on the promenade. Fast-food cafes abound, and there are also stalls serving cotton candy, ice cream, and crispy popcorn. Don't miss the chance to try the trendy bubble tea, Hong Kong waffles, Czech trdelniks (spit cakes), and traditional hot dogs.

It's important to note that both the cafes and attractions operate from May to October.
