Heydar Aliyev Park

Heydar Aliyev Park, Urban park in Ganja, Azerbaijan.

Heydar Aliyev Park is a large green space in Ganja with an artificial lake, amphitheater, and recreational areas. The grounds include gardens, cycling paths, and the Ganjland amusement area, which together form a place for different kinds of activities.

The park began in 1979 when residents planted trees during a community event. A major renovation project from 2012 to 2014 transformed the grounds significantly.

The park carries the name of Heydar Aliyev, who visited Ganja in 1980 and planted plane trees here. Along the Main Alley stand statues and busts of Azerbaijani poets and public figures, among them Nizami Ganjavi, Mahsati Ganjavi, Mirza Shafi Vazeh and Samad Vurghun. The amphitheater, with pillars decorated in national ornaments, seats up to 5,000 people for open-air events.

A 7 km cycling road runs through the entire complex, and the 53 m wide, 1400 m long Main Alley links the Triumphal Arch to the Heydar Aliyev Center. The arch has staircases and an elevator to its 30 m observation deck. The amphitheater seats up to 5000 for open-air events.

The Triumphal Arch at the entrance was raised as a symbol of 15 June, Azerbaijan's National Salvation Day. It stands 38 metres high and 50 metres long, with 24 columns around its walls, seven floors and six open balconies; stairs and a lift lead to a museum and a 30-metre observation deck.
