The park is beautiful, the ruined castle is also normal, and the wall around it is half made of cypress and tar on top of a real wall, half made of clay mixed with hay and piles of construction debris.
A COUPLE of mosques and old trees...
BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT WORTH GOING THERE FOR 2 HOURS OR MORE.
The road through the mountain pass from Samarkand seems to be beautiful. But every stone on it is painted with clumsy inscriptions. Like, "Vasya was here" and the like. Dirty roadsides, mountains of garbage.
The place where they shot some kind of movie in the old days is even worse... there are a lot of people who also relieve themselves in these painted stones...
the rocks and stones themselves have a bizarre shape. And the views are not bad.... but I advise you to stay in the mountains and travel there. There will obviously be something more interesting than a park with 2 pillars and a couple of mosques.

An impressive place just an hour and a half drive from Samarkand! The grandeur of the building is breathtaking, you can watch the reconstruction on YouTube, the bend of the former arch remains a little on the skeletons.
