On the site of the Tashkent Astronomical Observatory, a new public green park called Oxygen Park will be created. Unlike many modern parks, it will not feature amusement rides or entertainment zones but will focus on creating a space for peaceful relaxation and connection with nature.
One of the central objectives of the park will be the restoration of the Akkurgan Canal, which will run through its territory. The canal’s banks will be lined with stone, and a landscaped path, surrounded by shady trees and lush vegetation, will run along it. This will create a natural and pleasant environment for walking and relaxing.
Additionally, the park will feature a 4,000 square meter rose garden with over 100 species of roses, making it a true gem for flower enthusiasts.
The project’s concept includes landscaping the park area with greenery, creating walking alleys and a central plaza. The park will also have an open-air green amphitheater, a lake with decorative carp, an irrigation reservoir, an interactive play area, a library, an art gallery, a stream with a waterfall, a reading garden, a children’s playground, and even a chess garden. All of this is designed to allow residents to enjoy various forms of outdoor recreation.
Special attention in the project is given to greening the area. The plan includes planting rare and native species of trees and shrubs, which will not only beautify the park but also improve the environmental situation in Tashkent. This project will help restore biodiversity in the capital and create a more favorable microclimate.
The Minister of Ecology, Aziz Abdukhakimov, emphasized the importance of creating this green park:
“The creation of a green park will have a beneficial impact on the capital’s ecosystem, contributing to the restoration of biodiversity. Planting rare and native species will strengthen the natural balance, and the eco-trails will allow visitors to become more familiar with the diversity of flora. The green zone will also play a key role in improving air quality and the overall environmental condition,” he said.
The Astrograph Tower, located in the park, will also be preserved and will play an important role in the new project. It is planned to be transformed into a library, and special dark zones for stargazing will be created around it. Educational banners in the park will tell the history of astronomy and the tower’s functions, inspiring the younger generation to pursue knowledge and discoveries.
The park’s green area will not only serve a decorative function but will also create a natural microclimate, helping to purify the air and reduce noise. Additionally, the planned ecological trails and picnic areas will provide ideal conditions for outdoor recreation, turning the park into a unique place for city residents.
