Dada Gorgud Park, Public park in Narimanov district, Baku, Azerbaijan.
Dada Gorgud Park is a 6-hectare public space in Narimanov district with paved pathways, seating areas, and planted grounds throughout. An artificial lake at its center defines the landscape and is fed by an underground water system.
The park opened in 2013 on land where a children's railway once operated, transforming an older recreational site into a new public space. This conversion reflected Baku's efforts to reshape its neighborhoods during that period.
The park honors Dada Gorgud, a figure from Oghuz Turkish oral traditions whose stories have been passed down through generations in the region. A monument by sculptor Goyus Babayev marks this connection and ties the place to local heritage.
The park sits near Ganjlik metro station and offers multiple entry points easily reached from surrounding residential areas. Paved walkways connect it directly to neighboring streets and provide clear access throughout.
The artificial lake is fed by an underground water reserve system that maintains consistent water levels year-round. This engineering approach allows the lake to sustain its volume even during drier months.
