Telman Park

Telman Park in Tashkent, now known as the Central Park named after Mirzo Ulugbek, is one of the oldest and most beloved recreational areas in the capital. It was officially opened on June 24, 1934, on the grounds of the former estate of the military governor of the Syrdarya region, Nikolai Grodekov. Originally, the park was named after Ernst Thälmann, a leader of the German communists, and was widely known by that name during the Soviet era.

During World War II, the park played an important social role: it hosted free meal programs for evacuated children and members of the intelligentsia, including well-known figures such as Arkady Raikin and Alexei Tolstoy. After the war, the park evolved into a cultural venue, regularly holding musical evenings and various public events, becoming a kind of "musical salon" of the city.

In 2018, the park underwent a major renovation and was renamed in honor of the great astronomer and ruler Mirzo Ulugbek. Today, the Central Park blends its historical legacy with modern recreational facilities:

More than 26 modern attractions, including roller coasters and a French-style carousel

A 3,500 sq. meter children’s playground with mazes and a dry pool

Green alleys lined with centuries-old acacias, oaks, and plane trees

An artificial lake with waterfowl

Fountains with lighting and natural artesian water

Cafés, food courts, and relaxation zones

The park is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Entrance is free, but attractions require individual payment.

Today, the Central Park named after Mirzo Ulugbek remains a popular destination for families, leisure walks, and cultural events in Tashkent.
