Parks are the lungs of cities. They are places to relax and get some exercise. They are usually away from traffic and pollution, so the air is cleaner in them. They are also good places to enjoy time
with the family, so new parks are always welcome. One of the newest, and the best, is the First
President's Park. However, this park is more impressive than most neighbourhood parks. Some
people think it will become the most beautiful park in the country. It's a large park (1.5 km from
end to end) and the city created it in honour of Kazakhstan's first president, You enter it through
a grand colonnade at the
north end of the park - the side closest to the city centre. It's the biggest building in the park
and part of a formal area, with fountains, seats, paths and flower beds. Not all the park is
formal. It has lots of trees, particularly spruce, and these woody areas provide natural habitats
for animals and plants. The beautiful Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, to the south of the park,
give the park a spectacular setting. The park only opened in 2011, so the trees are still
small. As the trees grow, the park will provide a cool area to escape to, away from the
heat of summer and a place to enjoy special events, such as the annual Alma-Ata First
Love Music Festival, one of the liveliest festivals of the summer.
