NAVOI PARK

Starting from Independence Square and following the Ankhor Canal southwards, you will come to Navoi Park, Tashkent's great summer meeting place. Between Independence Square and Navoi Park, the Ankhor Canal was once the boundary between the modern Russian and Uzbek cities. It is bordered by a few sports fields where many inhabitants come to do their gymnastics. Inside the park, a few chaikhanas surround the canal and the large pool where kids come to bathe and take small boat rides.
