A PARK NAMED AFTER DAVID THE INVINCIBLE (ANHAGHT)


1980s


Located in the Kanaker-Zeytun administrative district, at the end of Davit Anhaght Street, the park is bordered by Anhaght, Dro, and Rubinyants Streets. It is divided into four platforms and various functional zones.


In 1985–1986, the “Zeytuntsiner” bas-relief sculpture, made of orange tuff, was installed in the park. This flat sculpture was created by sculptor Ararat Hovsepyan, co-author Vladimir Atanyan, and architect Eduard Safaryan. Near the park entrance stands a bronze monument to the famous Armenian philosopher Davit Anhaght (5th–6th centuries), set on a smooth granite pedestal. Created by sculptor Serzh Mehrabyan and architect Eduard Safaryan, this monument stands 3 meters tall and was installed in 1985.


In 2023, renovation work began on the park's foundation, planned to be completed in three stages. The first stage has already seen significant improvements: 1 hectare of green space has been developed, new concrete pavement with artistic and granite tiles has been laid, basalt curbstones have been replaced, a 1,200 square meter children’s playground with a rubber floor has been built, new benches have been installed, the lighting network has been restored, water pools have been constructed, and 270 square meters of travertine tiles and pathways have been rebuilt. Future plans include constructing singing fountains while preserving the existing cascade-like fountains. The park’s improvement works are still ongoing.
