Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is proud announces the opening of Lovers’
Park Yerevan on October 17. Starting October 18, the park will welcome
all the visitors.
Revitalization works of the 1.6 hectare park have been implemented
according to Swiss Landscape Architect (DPLG), Pierre Rambach’s
design. He is the author of many works on eastern gardens and has
rich experience in designing boulevards worldwide.
The sponsor of the rehabilitation of the park is the Boghossian
Foundation.
Since 1995 Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has implemented numerous projects
through the sponsorship of the Boghossian family, amongst which the
President of Republic of Armenia Award is particularly noteworthy.
"Implementation of construction works in this much-loved park was a
great responsibility. Together with the Boghossian Foundation we have
spared no efforts in order to restore the park, as well as have done
our best to provide a fresh touch and new quality. I hope that the
park will continue to be a favorite place for relaxation both for
the residents of Yerevan and the guests to the capital", says Ara
Vardanyan, the acting executive director of Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.
As you step in at the main entrance, you find yourself in a lovely
cozy setting, the paths of which encourage you to stroll and
chat. The artificial lake with=2 0its islets, the waterfalls, the
stone compositions, the beautiful, nursed lawns and the plentiful
flowers promise wonderful moments of relaxation and leisure to the
visitors. As in the past, fans of chess and backgammon will be able to
spend their time in beautifully furbished and inviting corners of the
park. Lack of stairs and sharp passages make the park a comfortable
place for the physically challenged people to spend their time in.
Decorative lights will come as a nice surprise especially for those
who enjoy strolls in the evenings.
Boghossian Foundation is committed to carrying out maintenance of
the park for the next 21 years.
Children and pedagogues of the kindergarten neighboring the park are
amongst the "privileged" few who, weeks before its official opening
ceremony, have been enjoying the stunning vista of the park.
The President of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, RA Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Chair of the Constitutional Court, Gagik
Haroutiunian, RA National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, Members
of Parliament, Ministers, the Ambassador to the Vatican, Cardinal
Tarcisio Bertone, Ambassadors, cultural figures and honorary guests
from Switzerland, Belgium, France, Lebanon, the USA and other countries
will participate in the opening ceremony of the park.
