Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen, Almaty, Memorial park in central Almaty, Kazakhstan

The Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen is a green area in central Almaty with paths winding through oaks, elms, aspens, maples, poplars, pines and firs. The site covers 18 hectares and connects several streets in the surrounding neighborhood.

The site was created in 1870 as the Old Cemetery Park and received its current name in 1942 to honor 28 soldiers who defended Moscow during World War II. The grounds were then transformed into a public memorial space.

The park's name, given on 5 May 1942, honours the 28 soldiers of the 1075th regiment of the 316th rifle division, commanded by General Ivan Panfilov, who were reported to have died defending Moscow in November 1941. On Victory Day, residents and visitors lay flowers at the Eternal Flame and the obelisks of the Walk of Memory. In 2010 a monument to the writer and Hero of the Soviet Union Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, by sculptors Nurlan Dalbay and Rasul Satybaldiyev, was unveiled here.

The park sits between Kunayev, Gogol, Zenkov, and Kazybek Bi streets and offers several entrances throughout the day. The pathways are wide enough for walkers and families with children.

The park's oldest surviving graves are those of Leonilla Kolpakovsky, buried in 1860, and her grandson Vladimir Basilevsky, buried in 1882; the gravestone was restored in 2011. They are the only marked burials left from the cemetery that once occupied the site.
