Akorda and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation are located on the western and eastern sides, respectively. The park offers great views of Nur-Sultan’s skyline.

Zheruiyk Park
Zheruiyk, one of the most beautiful parks in the capital of Kazakhstan, is located not far from the city center, in the Karaotkel Microdistrict. In Kazakh, Zheruiyk means “Promised Land.” On an area of 21 hectares, there is a wonderful grove of 11 species of trees and shrubs. Currently, their number reaches 10 thousand. The huge park is crossed by numerous biking and jogging paths equipped with benches and decorated with sculptures.
Zheruiyk Park is very popular among locals and travelers. However, its opening was delayed for many years. Zheruiyk was set up in 1998 but was officially opened only in 2008. This delay had a good reason – it took a decade for the young seedlings to grow. Today, park-goers can admire birches, pines, poplars, bird cherry and other species of trees. The park looks especially beautiful in spring (during the flowering period) and in autumn (when leaves turn yellow and fiery-red).
