Located in the central part of Baku, at the intersection of Khagani Street, Bulbul Avenue, Uzeyir Hajibeyli and Rashid Behbudov Streets, in front of the National Library of Azerbaijan named after Mirza Fatali Akhundzade, the garden is surrounded by historical buildings. The first name of the garden was Birjevaya Square. After the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, it was renamed as Azadliq Square. After the April occupation, after 26 Baku commissars were buried here, a monument was erected in their memory and the garden was renamed. After independence, the monument of the commissars was removed from the park and renamed Sahil garden.
