City Park, Kokshetau, Urban park in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan.
City Park in Kokshetau is a green space with walking paths, landscaped gardens, and recreational zones designed for different activities. The layout offers areas for strolling, picnicking, and sports in a well-organized setting.
The space was established in 1957 as a municipal green area during a period of urban expansion. It grew alongside the city's development into the modern center it is today.
The park holds over 20 monuments and sculptures, including a 1963 statue of Lenin and a Civil War memorial (1957, renewed in 2003), set symmetrically along the central alley. A Ferris wheel installed in 1974 for the city's 150th anniversary was replaced in 1990. The main entrance colonnade of 2001 carries a monument to Abylai Khan on its central axis.
The park lies in a narrow rectangle between Abaya, Kuybysheva and Kudaibergenova streets, with its main entrance on the west side off Independence Square and Abylai Khan Square closing it to the east. Two long alleys run east to west, crossed by a short transverse path. Entry is free; the park adjoins Central Park directly.
The Ferris wheel installed in 1974 for the city's 150th anniversary was replaced in 1990; the park now holds more than 20 rides, among them the "Yunga" and "Svetofor" attractions.
