Heydar Aliyev Park Complex, a sprawling green space in Ganja, Azerbaijan, stands as a testament to modern urban planning and a tribute to the nation's former president, Heydar Aliyev. Officially opened in 2014 after extensive renovations, this park isn't just a recreational space; it's a symbol of Ganja's growth and a reflection of Azerbaijani pride. Spanning an impressive 450 hectares, Heydar Aliyev Park holds the distinction of being the largest park in the Caucasus. Its vastness allows for a diverse range of activities and attractions, catering to both locals and tourists. The park's design seamlessly blends natural elements with architectural features, creating a harmonious environment that invites exploration and relaxation. The park's history began in 1979 when it was founded as a memorial park. In 1980, Heydar Aliyev visited Ganja and planted plane trees in the park. From 2012 to 2014, the park underwent a major reconstruction, expanding to its current size and adding many new features. One of the park's most iconic landmarks is the Triumphal Arch, which serves as a grand entrance and offers stunning panoramic views of Ganja. Standing at 38 meters tall, the arch is adorned with intricate stone carvings and offers a museum, restaurant and observation deck. Climbing to the top provides a breathtaking perspective of the park's sprawling landscape and the city beyond. As you venture deeper into the park, you'll encounter a network of meticulously maintained walking paths that wind through lush greenery and vibrant flower beds. The park boasts over 350,000 trees, including oriental plane trees, pines, spruces, and various fruit trees, creating a diverse and refreshing environment. Statues and monuments of famous Azerbaijani poets, writers, and public figures, such as Nizami Ganjavi and Mahsati Ganjavi, add a touch of culture and history to the surroundings. For those seeking entertainment and recreation, Heydar Aliyev Park offers a wide array of options. An artificial lake provides a serene setting for leisurely strolls along its banks, while an amphitheater hosts various events and concerts throughout the year. The park also includes GanjLand, an amusement park with rides and attractions for all ages.
