Gafur Ghulam Park
Gafur Ghulam Park in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Gafur Ghulam Park is located in Tashkent, at the intersection of Chapan-Ata and Bunyodkor streets. It was established in 1967 as a city park of culture and recreation, and was later named after the Uzbek poet Gafur Ghulam. Today, it is a large green area known primarily as a place for walks and everyday relaxation.
The park grounds are filled with mature trees and shady alleys. Plane trees, pines, birches, oaks, chestnuts, thuja, and junipers grow here, helping the park maintain a cooler and calmer atmosphere than the neighboring city streets even during the warm season. Reservoirs and open walking areas play an important role in the park’s layout.
The park is of interest to tourists as one of the examples of large public parks in Tashkent, where you can see everyday city life outside museums and historical landmarks. People come here to walk with their families, relax in the shade of the trees, ride boats and pedal boats, and spend time outdoors. It is a convenient place for an unhurried stop while exploring the city.
