Tumanyan Park, Urban park in Ajapnyak district, Yerevan, Armenia.
Tumanyan Park is a 7-hectare public park on the right bank of the Hrazdan River in Yerevan's Ajapnyak district, opened in 1970. It lies in the Hrazdan gorge, bounded by Halabyan Street to the west, the Great Bridge of Hrazdan to the south, the river to the east and the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies to the north. Its grounds hold football and basketball courts, children's playgrounds, pedestrian and cycle paths, and an automatic irrigation system installed during the 2009–2010 reconstruction.
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 is leased for 100 years to the Ayb Educational Foundation ("AyPeeGee Labs AM" in the Armenian article), which has maintained it since the 2009–2010 reconstruction; locals often call it "Tumo's Park" because the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies building borders it to the north.
