Opening of Multifaceted Infrastructure: Daycare Center, Football Field, and Sports Field in Almaty for Community Enjoyment
Celebrating City Day in Almaty: A Glimpse at the Fresh New Additions!
In Almaty, we're tap-dancing our way to a healthier, happier community with the grand opening of a swanky new kindergarten, a groovy football field, a rockin' basketball court, and an action-packed playground for the kids in the Bostandyk district!
Step into the colorful halls of Kindergarten No. 191, snuggled in the "Asyl Tau" residential complex. With an exquisite music hall, a kick-ass salt room, a relaxation room, and a parkour playground for the littlest acrobat, this kid-friendly haven has six groovy groups ready to rock!
In the Bostandyk district, keeping the kiddos safe and sound has been a priority. Right now, there are 108 preschool organizations rockin' and rollin', covering 10,621 precious junior citizens. But demand's been high, and the city's been working overtime to provide more space for them to grow!
To combat the shortage of sweet spots for the kiddies, city hall's been putting up four fresh, state-run nurseries with a whopping 670 spots since 2020. The plan is to build 419 new playhouses, with a massive 19,980 places up for grabs, in the next five years. That includes 413 state-run and 400 privately owned nurseries, plus six kindergartens getting seismic makeovers and TLC!
Over in the Kokshetau-1 microdistrict of Bostandyk, an abandoned parking lot's been transformed into a sports lover's paradise. Before the revamp, it was just a bleak, desolate wasteland. But now, residents can swap their desks for dribbles and shoot hoops on the football field, basketball court, and multi-sports playground!
This new hangout spot has got the works: 924 sq.m. of high-tech artificial turf, 1,100 sq.m. of rubber surfacing, 11 sports training equipment, a table tennis joint, a chess gazebo, and twelve whimsical play structures for the little ones to explore. Even better, the place is adorned with lush greenery, gleaming asphalt paths, glitzy lighting poles, classic benches, and tidy trash receptacles.
If you're thinking, "Gee, this is a major upgrade from an abandoned parking lot," you'd be right! Per the city's akim's orders, they've given the area a major facelift to draw in the folks, encourage sporty activities, and champion a wholesome lifestyle.
Now, the youth of this district are livin' the dream, playing football and basketball like pros, while parents unwind and bond with their little ones at this breezy playground.
Finally, in time for City Day, they unveiled the Student Service Center (SSC), sports hall, and training-production complex for Almaty Technological University at 100, Tole Bi Street. Get ready to dive headfirst into state-of-the-art education and sports amenities!
Behind the Scenes:
While we didn't find an explicit chatter about a brand-new kindergarten construction project in Almaty, here's some juicy info that might give us a hint:
- The Kazakh government recently budgeted 7.8 billion tenge ($15.6 million) for a kindergarten catering to children with special needs.
- In the neighboring city of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, they've put out a tender for a 750-seat school to address extreme classroom shortages.
- Kyrgyzstan's government's planning a 19-building complex prioritizing administrative buildings over school infrastructure.
While Almaty-specific construction projects weren't detailed in the results, the national funding initiative suggests similar projects in Almaty might be in the works, due to persistent preschool capacity challenges. Stay tuned for updates from city hall!
The Future Sounds Good:
Here's a sneak peek at what could be happening next:
- Collaboration between public and private sectors, such as international schools.
- Targeted spending on inclusive education facilities.
- Rapid construction methods similar to Kyrgyzstan's “parallel design and construction” techniques for public buildings.
The city of Almaty continues to make strides in education and self-development, with the construction of a new kindergarten specifically designed for children with special needs, following the Kazakh government's funding allocation of 7.8 billion tenge ($15.6 million).
In the neighboring city of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a tender has been issued for a 750-seat school to address severe classroom shortages, indicating a potential focus on expanding preschool capacity in the region.
Kyrgyzstan's government also plans to build a 19-building complex that prioritizes administrative buildings over school infrastructure. This approach may inspire a similar commitment to educational facilities in Almaty.
Looking forward, there's a possibility of collaboration between public and private sectors, such as international schools, to address preschool capacity challenges in Almaty.
Targeted spending on inclusive education facilities and rapid construction methods, like Kyrgyzstan's "parallel design and construction" techniques for public buildings, could also be part of future plans for expanding Almaty's educational landscape.
