Various sports facilities, including a football field and an area for playing chess, were set up in the yard for leisure activities of people of all ages.

In addition, 5 gazebos, seats, waste bins, new lighting poles and security cameras were installed in the area. 

The facades, roofs and entrances of the buildings have been completely repaired. Moreover, nearly 30 trees were planted in accordance with the rules of the special quarantine regime. A  green stripe was laid out in an area of ??2,500 square meters.

The "Our Yard" project is planned to be implemented in all Baku districts. In this regard, IDEA proposes to submit information and recommendations about the yards in Baku which are in need of improvement.
