 The President got acquainted with the construction and landscaping activities carried out in the National Park of Uzbekistan.

The park is well-known to our people. It was established in 1932 by khashar, and for many years it was a favourite place for residents. The new complexes have recently appeared on the territory of the Park – the Alley of Writers, as well as the Writers’ Union building, the History Museum of Tashkent city and the Magic city entertainment center have been built.

The President emphasized the need for preserving the historical appearance of this park, and to create an atmosphere in the spirit of national traditions.

As part of this, large-scale activity has been carried out on the territory of more than 14 hectares. An Administrative building and restaurants were built, the bridges and roads were reconstructed. The lake with a total area of 40 thousand square meters has been restored. The lake bottom is covered with special coating to prevent shallowing and silting. There is a swimming area with a beach. More than a thousand trees and about 200 thousand shrubs have been planted.

The President had a conversation with the representatives of the older generation, literature and art figures. Congratulating them on the upcoming Independence Day, he noted the importance of this park.

«The changes, taking place in our cities today, are pleasant. However, we must also respect our values and memory. This Park was once the most famous place in Tashkent and has become one of its symbols. The people came here for a walk, the artists looked for inspiration. The most joyful moments of students and youth took place here. We need to harmonize this past with the present», Shavkat Mirziyoyev has said.

The national park has all the conditions for a full rest. The visitors can walk with family or friends, have a snack, play checkers, chess and tennis, ride a bike.

«We all know well the songs from famous films, such as «Lovely Tashkent», the songs of our hafiz, they are deeply rooted in our hearts», Shavkat Mirziyoyev said. «Therefore, we have drawn attention to the fact that such melodies are constantly heard in this park. I think it would be appropriate to hold here poetry evenings, concerts, filmmaking, as before. This will contribute to make our park even more beautiful and attractive».

The representatives of the older generation expressed their joy that the park was reopened in a new, lovely appearance.
