Park Svobody, also known locally as Nizami Ganjavi Park, is a polished recreational hub in the heart of Derbent. The park seamlessly integrates modern landscaping with the city's rich history, situated alongside beautifully restored sections of the ancient defensive walls. Visitors can enjoy wide boulevards lined with swings and benches, vibrant fountain displays, and ambient music that creates a fairy-tale atmosphere at night. While the park is still maturing—meaning shade is limited during the day—it remains a top destination for those looking to capture photos or enjoy a quiet walk away from the bustle of larger cities. The addition of a pedestrian bridge to Mamedbekov Street makes it a central piece of the city's tourist infrastructure.

Park Svobody in Derbent is highly praised for its clean, modern, and culturally rich environment. Visitors frequently mention the park's peaceful atmosphere, noting it is quieter than similar spaces in Makhachkala. The evening experience is a major highlight, with reviewers enjoying the synchronized fountains, decorative lighting, and ambient music. The park features well-maintained walking boulevards equipped with swings and benches, often described as having an oriental fairy-tale charm due to the nearby historic walls. While the park is a favorite for photography and strolls, some guests caution that the lack of mature trees makes it very hot during summer days. Overall, the presence of friendly local cats and the spacious pedestrian bridge add to its unique appeal as a top city attraction.
