Khan's grove, Public park in Oral, Kazakhstan
Khan's Grove is a public park on the western bank of the Ural River in Oral. Mature trees provide shade over maintained paths, and benches with rest areas are spread throughout the grounds along the riverside.
The park was established in 1812 and served as a natural refuge for inhabitants during Oral's growth. Its creation is tied to the city's expansion along the river confluence.
The park is named after a historical ruler and reflects the city's connection to its past. On warm days, families gather under the large trees for picnics and enjoy the river proximity.
The park can be accessed from multiple entry points distributed along the riverside. The shaded path along the water is especially pleasant for walking on hot days.
The park sits at the geographical boundary between Europe and Asia, marked by the Ural River. This position makes it special for those who want to stand on both continents at once.
