Its history goes back more than 100 years, to a time when Baku oil barons built their mansions along the Caspian shore and when the seafront was artificially built-up inch by inch. The park traditionally starts at Freedom Square continuing west to the Old City and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2012, the New Boulevard has virtually doubled the length to 3.75 km, extending the promenades to National Flag Square. In 2015 White City Boulevard added a further 2 km to the east of Freedom Square and reports have suggested that eventually the boulevard might be as long as 26 km, including Bibiheybat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilities Available<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tourism Information Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wi-Fi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public toilet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Park Boulevard Shopping Mall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deniz Shopping Mall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Museums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carousels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restaurants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baku Boulevard is a promenade which runs parallel to Baku&#8217;s seafront.
