In the context of the increasing pace of economic development of the country and the increased use of natural resources, the issue of further improving the system of territorial protection of nature, primarily specially protected areas, is becoming urgent. The article presents the results of studies of the ecological state of the gorge Ayusay, which is part of the Ile-Alatau National Park for the period prior to the change of the modes of nature in connection with the rental and the beginning of the construction of a visitor center, i.e. in fact, the results of background studies of the influence of previously existing accumulators of mixed household waste of vacationers. The results of testing of soil, vegetation, surface water, and air showed low concentrations of polluting components in all samples. However, a comparative analysis of the results, taking into account the location of the sampling, revealed a tendency to increase their concentrations with a decrease in altitude, i.e., pollution increases in the direction of movement towards the city. The decrease in concentrations characteristic of motor transport in the direction of contamination of the underground stream in the direction of the draining flow of surface water indicates the main role of highways in the pollution processes.
