Calm ponds in the city park... Small swan island is decorated with the wooden figures of the heroes of russian fairy tales.... but they are with kazakh faces ;-)) like this Emelya and a Pike-Fish on the photo.

Park is full of summer cafes and restaurants, there are some amusements for children and a "big wheel" to see the city around.
