Discover more about English Park

English Park, also known as Yerevan Theatrical Park or Komaygi, is a cherished green space in the heart of Yerevan, Armenia. Founded in the 1860s, it officially opened in 1910 and quickly became a beloved destination for residents and visitors alike. Located on Italy Street in the Kentron district, the park spans 5.5 hectares, offering a refreshing retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. The park's design blends natural beauty with historical and cultural elements. Visitors can stroll along winding paths, relax on benches surrounded by vibrant flowerbeds and mature trees, and admire the central fountain and various sculptures. Statues of the 'Water Salesman,' Gabriel Sundukyan, and his fictional character Pepo add to the park's charm. English Park has a rich history, hosting Yerevan's first-ever football match in 1920. During the Soviet period, it was renamed after the 26 Baku Commissars, but its original name was restored after Armenia's independence. The park has undergone several renovations, including a major one in 1910, and has adapted to the changing city landscape, even losing some territory to accommodate new roads and buildings. Today, English Park remains a vibrant hub for social gatherings and community events. It's a place where locals and tourists can connect with nature, enjoy cultural landmarks, and experience the artistic spirit of Armenia.
