Karagaily Pine Park is a unique historical park in the Golden Square of Almaty.
The park was founded by pupils of the Vernensky orphanage in the second half of the 19th century. The hundred-year-old pines in the park were planted by orphans. Therefore, the first name of the park was Priyutsky.
The building of the Vernensky orphanage has survived to this day; now it houses the Almaty city museum.
After the Russian Revolution, the building of the Vernensky orphanage was occupied by the Soviet government, the Almaty Chekist town was built around the park, and the Shelter Park was renamed Dzerzhinsky Park.
After Kazakhstan gained independence, the park returned its historical folk name and became the Pine Park of Karagaily.
There are three monuments in the park.
Monument to the Kazakh poet and teacher Turmagambet Iztleuov, who died during Stalin’s repressions.
Monument to the victims of the famine of 1931-1933, which claimed the lives of millions of Kazakhs.
And a monument to Aldar Kose, a character in Kazakh folk tales.
The final scene of the novel Faculty of Unnecessary Things by the great humanist writer Yuri Osipovich Dombrovsky takes place on the playground in the center of Sosnovy Park.
