city park

Not many attractions to see (and very cheap) but worth walking in the evening as there is a river also. Most crowded in summers but worth visiting in winter too. there is a river cruise there where you can see a little part of Astana.

Recently I took a visiting friend up inside Bayterek to better see the City. The light snow on the ground makes a very different impression than the millions of summer flowers in intricate designs. The walkway (from Khan Shatir to Akorda) was completely taken up and renovated this spring and summer. All new paving stones, fountains, and flora. The view is great. The cost is 500 KZT per person. There is a very small bar and a few tables. But much more important is the model that shows the Park below, the curved stairs up to the very top where the President's handprint is a favored attraction. Many visitors to the Capital city put there hand in the impression and have their photo made. Next to this is a pedestal with greetings of peace by many of the world's religious leaders. The ride up and down the elevator was scenic, but crowded. There seemed to be many Brides in their flowing gowns who wanted photos made from the top. This is always a good start to a visit, a way to orient guests to the layout of the city. There is a small expensive souvenior kiosk near the ticket window. The park expanses around the Tower are pleasant in summer of winter as a place to stroll, and in summer to sit and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.

Is a lovely place to walk around in the summer, but it's been closed since end April, 2014 for construction of the walkways. They have complete demolition in process. It is most likely not going to open this summer season.

It is a nice place to visit. The place is surrounded with beautiful buildings and several sites to visit all the way from khan Shatyr to President Palance

Everytime I visit Astana, I always enjoy walking along the boulevard regardless the season; Certaimly the best time is during spring or autum; but I'd walked from Khan Shatyr to bayterek during the harsh winter of -36C. great experience.

You enter the park and you just walk into a deserted place. No attractions are open and it looks like it hasn't been touched in months. I would say that you shouldn't go here in October

never been to Paris, but i imagine that this place is similar to famous champ elise of Paris. Calm and relaxing place in new city centre, close to major attractions as well as business and administrative buildings.

This park is a real let-down as it's falling apart. There are difficulties in getting through due to fences and the area (surprisingly) is quite unkempt. Don't bother with it if you have other things to visit

I would say not very green. Need more trees and flowers, etc

it is nice and new place also close to shopping malls - have a walk then

Well, it is nice to walk in this park because Kazakh put a lot of effort to make it nice. It is a "urban" park, next to new skyscraper and with streets on its borders. It is full of stairs fountains and beautiful flowers, but almost no trees, which are just near the tower (Baiterek). It is very long, in one side it is ending with the Palace of the President (with a beautiful blue roof), and in the other side (3KM?) there is the avveniristic Khan Shatyr, a huge commercial centre shaped like a tent. It is a place to appreciate the modern Kazakhstan. In winter... it is too cold to go around...

A great location for strolling especially summer evenings and weekends. Plenty to see. A pity that a few years ago the railway operated by children was dismantled. Plenty of places to get snacks. On the riverside.

Nice design of a new city. Symmetry in the main square. To appreciate it is better to go to the top of beiterek.

Типичный городской парк, характерный для всех областных центров еще советского Казахстана. Однако последняя реконструкция добавила много интересного: развлечения, аттракционы, спортивные снаряды и т.д. Летом бывает немного шумно и тесно. Но посетить стоит.

Осталась под большим впечатление от увиденного в этом парке. Все так красиво и изыскано. Природа . Пешеходные зоны. Не хотелось расставаться с парком. Отличное место для отдыха горожан и туристов
