This little park has a more natural vibe than most of the over-manicured equivalents in other towns. Old chaps in flat caps sip tea and slap dominoes beneath shady chestnut and plane trees. There's an ornamental 'castle' tower, a museum, a metal spired turbe (tomb tower) and statues of poets repainted to look like bronze. Similarly gilded sportswomen give the stairway to the Qırmızi Qəsəbə pedestrian bridge an uplifting sense of Soviet optimism.
