The City of Winds is full of venues for planning perfect summer relaxation.

Chambarakand Park in Baku is a perfect spot for lounging about in the sun and enjoying various activities such as walking, picnicking, cycling, and much more.

The admirers of wonderful city views and recreational facilities will definitely like this park. It is also worth mentioning a few interesting facts about the history of the park.

The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Azerbaijani Toponyms says that the word "chambarak" means circle while the word "kand" means village in Azerbaijani, Azernews reports, citing 1News.az.

Actually, there was a settlement of the same name on the territory of the park.

In the 1930s, Chambarakand quarter was completely demolished and a park was laid out and a monument was mounted to commemorate a Soviet communist leader, Sergei Kirov.

Nowadays, a beautiful park has been constructed on the territory where the quarter was once located.

In June, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev viewed the conditions available in the reconstructed park in Baku. All conditions have been created for the recreation and leisure of Baku residents.

Landscaping work has been carried out in the park. A pedestrian bridge, walking paths, sports and children's entertainment facilities as well as a beautiful fountain have been built on the territory of the park.

Over 50,000 different types of trees, bushes, and flowers have been planted there.

Whether you are an experienced outdoor enthusiast or a new one, take a look at Chambarakand Park.
