About the place

The park carries the name of Ahmad al-Farghani, a 9th-century astronomer from the valley who worked in Baghdad and whose writings were later read in Europe. It is the green heart of Fergana city.

Long alleys of old trees, cafés and playgrounds make it a favourite evening spot for local families. It is a good place to slow down after a day of travelling around the workshops and monuments of the valley.
