Lovers' Park

Location: In the city center, on the left bank of the Esil River, next to Khan Shatyr and Astana Opera.

About this place: A small park featuring a fountain with sixteen interlocking horseshoes, a gift from an Austrian princess.

Shaded pathways, flower beds, and benches just a stone's throw from Khan Shatyr — a small green oasis amid the skyscrapers of the left bank, where visitors come to stroll in pairs, take photos, and simply relax by the fountain.

History

The park was opened on July 6, 2005, on Capital City Day. Its central attraction is a fountain in the shape of sixteen interlocking horseshoes, unveiled in 2007: the concept and sculpture are the work of Austrian Princess Gabriela von Habsburg.
