Starting from the promenade in Namangan, Babur Park replaced the old gardens of the Governor, created in 1884. Named later Pushkin, he housed a statue of Lenin, disappeared after independence, when the Uzbeks reinvested the place to install their tchaïkhana and give him the name of the last emperor Timurid, Babur. Its shady lanes of canals and basins also houses the square of Independence, where official celebrations take place.
