Over a year since its inauguration, Khorog City Park in Tajikistan is abuzz with activity. Zainura Khudoyorbekova is the park’s year-round general manager. This summer, she’s seen children swimming leisurely in the pond, playing football in corners of its patchy greens, and enjoying the play equipment.
But come winter, the park will be blanketed with snow and temperatures will drop to -20 to -30°C. Nevertheless, one thing will remain constant — the children’s fervent desire to keep playing. Dressed in their winter gear, they will zip through the park, past the frozen pond, laughing and throwing snowballs.
