About the place
New Uzbekistan Park opened on 31 August 2021, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of independence. It covers 104 hectares on the eastern edge of Tashkent, where Yashnobod and Mirzo Ulugʻbek districts meet, and its centrepiece is the tall Independence Monument.
More than 10,000 trees and shrubs of 235 species were planted along its avenues, fountains and lawns. In the evenings the monument and fountains are lit up and the park fills with families. It is a long way from the centre, so take a taxi and allow an hour or two for a walk.
