Since 2012, the Yeni Bulvar (new boulevard) has virtually doubled the length to 3.75 km, extending the promenades to National Flag Square.

[4][5] The boulevard was established to connect the oilfields in Bibi Heybet as part of the urban development projects by Municipal Horticultural Commission.

Kazimierz Skurewicz, a Polish engineer, designed a 20-meter-wide embankment, using vegetation that would survive Baku's extremely hot, dry and gusty climate.

In 1909, Mammad Hassan Hajinski, Head of Baku's Municipal Construction Department improved the park by spending 60,000 rubles after Duma passed his resolution.

The winning design was titled "Zvezda" (Star) and featured a bathing house, luxurious restaurant and a dozen pavilions.

The improved Boulevard stretched from what is now the SOCAR Circle to the luxurious cinema, restaurant and the casino that was called "Phenomenon", designed by Polish architect Józef Plośko in 1912.

The situation further deteriorated as the level of the sea began to rise so high that many of the trees and shrubs in the park started dying off due to the salinity of the water.

This status also helped to mitigate the environmental concerns, such as cleanup of oil pollution from Caspian Sea oilfields.

The park is popular with dog-walkers and joggers, and is convenient for tourists, being adjacent to the newly built International Center of Mugham and musical fountain.
