Archaeological Park "Boralday Sak Barrows"
By the Decree № 1/185-390 of the Almaty City Akimat on March 28, 2006 the territory occupied by the kurgans was transferred under the jurisdiction of the Museum of Almaty to create a unique open-air museum - Archaeological Park "Borolday Sak barrows", which should include an archaeological park and ethnopark "Monuments of nomadic architecture and life of the Kazakh people". In 2016, M. M. Nurpeisov, scientific secretary of the Association of Museums of Almaty, specified that the main direction of development is the idea of an ecopark. It is planned that there will be small groves around, and in the central part of this park, where the mounds themselves are located, the landscape should be preserved as much as possible. On May 27, 2017, the park hosted a festival of nomadic culture, where visitors could actually see the "Sarmatian Priestess," which was found in the Taksai 1 mound, gold jewelry, and items of Saka culture. Visitors also took part in a subbotnik to beautify the park's territory.Necropolis
TheMonument status
On November 10, 2010, a new State List of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Local Significance in Almaty was approved, simultaneously with which all previous decisions on this subject were declared null and void. In this decree, the status of the Boroldai Mounds as a monument of local importance was retained. The boundaries of the protection zones were approved in 2014.References
