Samat Sadykov Park is the only urban park in Razzakov.[2] It has two primary entrances, the main entrance from the town's main roundabout on Dodosyan Street and a western entrance from Manas Ata Street. The park includes a soccer field, picnic areas, playgrounds, and a small forest.

History

edit

Part of the soccer field in Samat Sadykov Park was built over an ancient cemetery.[3] In 2017, ownership of the park was transferred from the Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism of the Kyrgyz Republic to the Razzakov (then Isfana) City Administration.[1]

In 2020, the park was renovated with funding from Soros Foundation–Kyrgyzstan, a local branch of Open Society Foundations.[4] In 2024, it was announced that 6 million Kyrgyz soms had been allocated to upgrade the playground in the park.[5]
