Tashkent Park

Tashkent Park is a small public green space located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Dedicated in 1974, the park is named after Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan, which is one of Seattle's international sister cities.

This charming neighborhood park bisects a block filled with apartment buildings, offering residents and visitors a shady retreat in the urban environment. The park features mature trees that provide ample shade, making it a cool spot for relaxation on warm days.

Tashkent Park serves as a symbol of international friendship and cultural exchange between Seattle and Tashkent. It showcases a sculpture called "Semurg" (Bird of Happiness) created by Uzbek artist Jacob Shapiro, further emphasizing the cultural connection between the two cities.

While compact in size, Tashkent Park provides a variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy. It offers seating options, including benches and picnic tables, allowing people to rest, socialize, or have a meal outdoors. The park also features a wooden arbor, adding to its aesthetic appeal and providing additional shade.
