About the place

The lake was dug from 1947 along an old irrigation channel off the Bozsu canal, which still feeds it, and was named Victory Lake after the end of the Second World War. In Soviet years it had a beach and a boat station.

Today part of the shore lies inside the Tashkent aquapark and the Japanese Garden is laid out on the other bank; both charge for entry. Wild ducks live on the water. It is on the west side of Amir Temur Street, near Bodomzor metro station.

Why go

  • The Japanese Garden on its bank
  • Aquapark for a hot summer day
