panfilov park

Panfilov Park是一个非常生活化的公园，阿拉木图市民们都喜欢和朋友们来这里享受悠闲的时光。置身此地让人有中国城市80年代的感觉。夏天的时候，花红草绿，随处可见松鼠、鸟类等。冬天白雪覆盖时想必又是另一种风格的美丽了。著名的Zenkov教堂也坐落于此公园内。

Impressive war memorials and statues. Colourful Orthodox cathedral. Nice to stroll around and get a feel for an Almaty Sunday morning.

The beautiful floral artistry that adorned the vast expanse of this park is worth seeing. For this it is necessary to come in summer. In winter though, the "white leaves of the trees are something to send someone into meditation. The heroes memorial has a larger than life affect, that draws you into the feelings and experiences of those heroes. A visit to the museum to see the development of traditional musical instruments quenches the hunger of those seeking to understand a people through its music. A walk along the fountained river offers peace and calm. Several restaurants by the river banks offer respite from your walks. Here, ask for shashlik, the Kazakh kebab, especially of horse meat. Calming place when you have a day to spnd stretching your legs at a leisurely pace.

Good place to visit while in Almaty, the cathedral is located there along to the eternal flame honoring the war hereos. The president park is better I believe in terms of bigger size, and a wider variety of trees, and plants and a place away from the city.

Nice park in the center of town. There are horse carriage rides available. Large sculpture and eternal flame located here in honor of soldiers lost in the wars. Very moving.

I recommend to visit the Kazakh museum of musical instruments and also the Cathedral - largest wooden one in the World. Also nearby there is the largest basaar of Almaty - worth of visiting, as well!

This park is a great place to spend a quiet, sunny afternoon. The war heroes memorial and eternal flame offer a solemn place for reflection. People still leave flowers at the site, which is a touching gesture of respect. The beautiful tall trees provide a buffer against the noise and bustle of the city, and offers the park visitor some solitude. The park was surprisingly clean and well maintained. The park also has a cathedral, a folk museum and a number of statures/monuments (including one for the soldiers killed in Afghanistan during the 1980s). I would highly recommend taking a stroll through this park if you are in the area. Bring your camera!

A very nice central park, mainly known for the Zenkov's Cathedral at its center, but it also has monuments, water basins, a war memorial and at its edge the museum of folk museum - a must to see in Almaty

I visited Panfilov park in Autumn, which is a good time to be strolling the city in general; the weather is cool to mild, and the many tree lined "strip parks" of the town are a joy to stroll.The central attraction is the Zenkov Cathedral (see my other review) but to the front & rear of it there are open areas where people hang out, feed the pigeons etc.There is also a open walled building dedicated to playing chess. It was packed with elderly men (plus one woman) gazing intently on their game. Sadly the grumpy "Chess Camp Guard" shooed us off when he noticed me taking pictures (The whole "Soviet style" Jobsworth thing is still very apparent here in Almaty!) This spot is (guards aside) a little gem of a spot to observe life here)Enjoy...

The main attraction in the park is the beautiful, multi-coloured Zenkov Cathedral. But there is also a memorial to war heroes as well as a nice park to walk around.Definitely worth a visit.

If you visit Almaty only for few days probably you will not get the chance to visit this park. But if you live in Almaty and especially in this area then you would probably go for a walk in it or just cross it on your way to the Green Market or the cathedral.On one side of the park is the WW II hero's monument and eternal flame and on the opposite side is located a very nice and colorful cathedral. Especially the roof is very nicely tiled with tiles of different colors making a very nice mosaic.The park is full of squirrels so you can also have fun feeding them.

With the Zenkov Cathedral, the Memorial Park and the Museum of Musical Instruments located in the park, it is possible to spend quite some time here, as many local residents do.

A communist spot not worth visiting. The well-renowned church looked old and decrepit. The place was not kept up. Worth walking through if you are in the area, though.

Great architecture, great people watching. In the heart of Almaty, where families and couples go to spend a nice afternoon together. Do not miss it!

Great park... In here you've got the impressive war memorial and lovely cathedral..took a picnic into the park and sat and people watched!
