Tashkent Main Sites & Parks: Amir Temur Square, City Park, Sailgokh St., Eco Park

This is a ‘runseeing’ tour of Tashkent that hits the main sites and central parks: Amir Temur Square, Pakhtakor Central Stadium/running track, and City Park. A longer route includes Eco Park.

Start at the impressive Amir Temur Square, where one can can do a ~1.4 km loop around its fountains and esplanades. Then, take the pedestrian-only Sailgokh St. west. RIGHT on Buyuk Turon to Navoi Ave. You can explore the Independence Square area, then continue across the small river to Pakhtakor St., which is used to access the Central Stadium. Do a loop around the stadium’s perimeter and the excellent running track adjacent. Continue west to Tashkent City Park, where there are paths & outdoor sculptures (also nicely lit at night). In all, this is 6.2 km one-way.

Add-On: Eco Park is 1.4 km east of Amir Temur Sq., (use Taraqqiyot St. or Ovozi St.), with 1-2 km of lovely paths. Just west of there is Mirzo Ulugbek Recreation Park, though the crossing from Eco Park is challenging.
