Third Ecopark 'Serkesay' Opens in Zhetisu Region

The third ecopark 'Serkesay' has been inaugurated in the Zhetisu region as part of the 'Clean Kazakhstan' program and on the President's directive. This opening in Tekeli marks a significant event for the area, fostering tourism development and promoting outdoor activities.

The event drew local residents, guests from Tekeli, business representatives, craftsmen, and athletes.

During the event, Deputy Akim of the region Marlen Kolbaev remarked:

"Under the President's directive, three ecoparks have been opened in the Zhetisu region: 'Koitas' in Sarkansky district, 'Tasbaka' in Taldykorgan, and 'Serkesay' in Tekeli. With the Akim's support, all parks are equipped with the essential infrastructure for comfortable recreation. We will continue to work on their development. In 'Serkesay', we plan to create areas for independent leisure, install lighting, surveillance cameras, and provide internet access. Our goal is for everyone to enjoy a pleasant and comfortable stay here. However, it's important to remember: the cleanliness and preservation of the ecopark depend on each of us. Please do not leave trash after your visit, and treat plants and natural landmarks with care. Let's preserve these beautiful spots for our children and future generations," the statement says.

As part of the opening program, there was an exhibition of local producers, 'Born from Nature', where visitors could explore beekeeping products, herbal cosmetics, national jewelry, and taste Tekeli gingerbread. Another exhibition, 'World of Art', allowed attendees to appreciate the talents of young artists and musical performances.

Tekeli Professional College showcased a tourism theme and gear at the 'Tourist Basket' exhibition. The program concluded with awards for participants in Nordic walking competitions.

The first phase of 'Serkesay' ecopark's development is complete, featuring a parking area, awnings, benches, and tables. A viewing platform at 1700 meters offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Local residents shared their impressions of the new ecopark. Anna Khokharina from Taldykorgan mentioned:

"We visited the park's opening. I came with my son, and we are pleased with the changes made."

Baltaibay Sausakov, a visitor from Almaty, noted that the park is very beautiful and well-maintained, with a visit providing lots of energy.

Thus, the opening of 'Serkesay' ecopark represents a step towards enhancing the tourism infrastructure in the Zhetisu region and encouraging outdoor activities.
