BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 7. As earlier reported, on November 7, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev participated in the inauguration of the third section of Central Park in Baku.
In this phase, nine hectares of the third section of Central Park were fully landscaped, creating a new recreation area that meets the highest modern standards. The territory of the new part of the park has been cleared of debris accumulated over many years, the top layer of soil has been replaced, and appropriate agrotechnical measures have been carried out.
In total, 3,500 trees of 19 different species, as well as more than 25,000 flowers and shrubs, were planted on 7.4 hectares of this section. About 60,000 cubic meters of fertile soil were filled into the territory, and a modern irrigation system was built to ensure greater efficiency of landscaping.
The key feature of Central Park's landscaping concept is its reflection of the four seasons. The construction of an underground tunnel, built within the project, allows pedestrians to pass safely without crossing the traffic section of Abdulla Shaig Street. This tunnel provides full connectivity between the first, second, and third sections of the park. The park includes three fountain complexes, sports facilities, children’s playgrounds, a football pitch, a basketball court, and areas for chess and table games. Additionally, an artificial lake and surrounding gazebos were created, providing an inviting space for both visitors and residents to enjoy their leisure time.
A modern lighting system was also installed throughout the park. During landscaping, the historic architectural monument known as the “Tandir Hamam,” built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was restored to its original appearance. The historic and surrounding residential buildings have also undergone major repairs. New asphalt pavement has been laid on Suleyman Tagizade and Nabat Ashurbekova streets; pedestrian sidewalks and parking spaces have been created; streetlight poles have been installed; and other works have been carried out.
In general, the completion of the third phase of the Central Park's construction, along with new landscaping and improvement works on the area, has fully opened the view of the Tazapir Mosque complex and the Imam Hussein Mosque, located on Suleyman Tagizade Street.
Thus, with the opening of the third section, the total area of Central Park, located in the former “Sovetski” area, has now reached 35.4 hectares, making it one of the most beautiful recreational spaces in the capital.
