SQUARES AND PARKS
Located in the First District
of the Nor Nork Administrative District, at the intersection of Gay Avenue and
Lvovyan Street.
In 2015, the park was named
after Tatul Krpeyan (1965–1991), National Hero of the Republic of Armenia and
participant in the First Artsakh War. It covers an area of 5.64 hectares and
was officially opened on September 2, 2015.
A park had already been
established at the beginning of the Nor Nork residential district, along Gay
Avenue, during the Soviet period. In the 1990s, the graves of freedom fighters
who lost their lives in the First Artsakh War were laid to rest there.
The park underwent major
renovation in 2014–2015. The new design was based on a project developed by a
group of students from the National University of Architecture and Construction
of Armenia. As part of the renovation, basalt stairways were built, walkways
were paved, curbs were renewed, retaining walls faced with travertine and
basalt slabs were constructed, gazebos and benches were installed, a pool with
44 small fountains, drinking fountains, a tennis court, and children's
playgrounds were built.
An amphitheater was also
constructed to host various events. A new irrigation system and a new lighting
network were installed.
Tatul Krpeyan Park provides all
the necessary facilities for residents to enjoy comfortable recreation.
