Baku Seaside Park – the famous Boulevard – one of the best sights of the capital of Azerbaijan, a favorite and lovely place for recreation of Baku citizens and guests of the city. In 2009, was the celebrated 100th anniversary of  Baki boulevard. The length of the park,  which today equals 5 km 600 meters, after the general reconstruction will be 25 km.

In 2007, in Seaside  Park, opposite the “Azneft” Square, the opening of a musical fountain, which has no analog in the world, was held. In 2008, the construction of the second fountain, which was built opposite the Government House, was completed.

In the seaside park, there is everything for a meaningful family holiday – dozens of diverse attractions, carousels, “Ferris wheel”, 7D cinema, cafes, the summer cinema “Bahar”, summer children’s theater and a parachute tower. There is also the legendary summer cafe “Pearl”, built in the 60s of the last century, and located on the overpass, going to sea, cafe “Sadko”. For lovers of sea walks, passenger ships run, Yacht Club and a floating restaurant operate. And one of the corners of Boulevard was even called Baku’s Venice: here boats and gondolas cruise along artificial narrow canals, just like in that Italian town.

The popular shopping and entertainment center Park Bulvar, the International Mugham Center and the famous Museum of the Azerbaijani carpet are also located in the Baku Seaside Park.

To the joy of adults and children Seaside park is buried in flowers and greenery. On the anniversary of the boulevard from different countries, various exotic plants and shrubs were brought here, in particular, Argentine baobabs weighing 7 tons each and over 150 years old, huge cacti, tall olive trees, and palms.

In connection with the decree of the President, since 2008 the general reconstruction of Primorsky Park has been carried out, for which the Mayor’s Office of Baku allocated a total of $ 500 million. The territory of the Seaside Park is constantly growing and will eventually be increased five times from the original. From one end it will stretch from the sea station to the village of Zykh, and from the other beginning from the Palace of hand games to the Bibi-Heybat mosque.

In 2014, in the new part of the Primorsky National Park, stretching to the State Flag Square, a modern panorama (“Ferris wheel”) 60 meters in diameter was opened, in which there are 30 eight-seater glazed cabins.
