In Astana, the beautification and greening efforts around the Capital Circus in the Nura district have been completed, creating a modern and comfortable recreational area for both residents and visitors, according to the official website of the Astana Mayor's Office.

As part of the beautification project, pedestrian areas, rest zones, and parking spaces have been updated, with new, modern street furniture installed. Special attention was given to the comfort of citizens: wooden overlays have been added to granite benches, and the fountain complex has been refurbished.

Additionally, decorative lighting and modern lighting poles have been installed in the area, making it more pleasant for evening strolls.

Significant greening work has also been carried out: young trees, shrubs, and perennial flowers have been planted. A local irrigation system has been arranged to maintain the greenery.

The work aims to create a safe, eco-friendly, and comfortable urban environment where residents and visitors of the capital can spend their free time, take family walks, and relax after a circus visit. The revamped area is now open for public visits and promises to be another comfortable spot for leisure and walking in the Nura district.

It is worth noting that, in the run-up to Republic Day, a number of new social and public facilities, as well as beautified spaces, are opening in Astana. Such projects are part of efforts to develop urban infrastructure and create comfortable living conditions for the city's residents and visitors.
