Tumanyan Park, Urban park in Ajapnyak district, Yerevan, Armenia.
Tumanyan Park is a 7-hectare green space situated along the right bank of the Hrazdan River, featuring walking paths, playgrounds, fountains, and fitness equipment throughout its grounds. The layout includes open areas and landscaped sections designed for different types of recreational use.
The park opened in 1970 to commemorate the centennial of writer Hovhannes Tumanyan's birth, establishing it as a cultural landmark. Sculptural works from his literary creations were added over the following years to enhance its connection to Armenian letters.
Sculptures depicting characters from Tumanyan's literary works have been placed throughout the park since the 1970s, showing how the city honors its literary heritage. Visitors encounter these artworks as they walk along the paths and open spaces.
The park is situated between the Great Bridge of Hrazdan and Tumo Center for Creative Technologies, remaining accessible during daytime hours and throughout the year. This central location makes it easy to visit along with nearby attractions and activities.
The park's proximity to Razdan Gorge offers glimpses of the canyon landscape while being positioned near contemporary sports facilities and creative learning spaces. This combination of natural scenery and modern institutions creates a distinctly layered environment.
