  It seems that this is only the area where the faculty of law is located (the western half of the district in designation of Google maps), and not the whole area between the park and the university. The eastern part, probably, is the area of "Al-Majmuea al-Thaqafiya". Mention of the liberation of "Al-Majmuea Al-Thaqafiya" area from official Iraqi military source together with "Al-Shurta" district on January 16, 2017, the day before it was announced the liberation of "Al-Muhandiseen" and "Al-Zir'ai" districts: https://www.facebook.com/ISOFGOLD/photos/1242457869155717/ The mentions of Al-Muhandiseen and Al-Zir'ai districts on 17 Jan: https://www.facebook.com/ISOFGOLD/photos/1243063995761771/ https://www.facebook.com/ISOFGOLD/photos/1243115172423320/ Location of "Al-Thaqafa" (الثقافة) district acc. local sources: https://www.facebook.com/NinevehMC/photos/1797537030513339/ https://www.facebook.com/mosulyoon2/posts/2086536534902530 But the name "Al-Thaqafa" was not mentioned at all by official military sources in the liberation of this area of Mosul, that, in addition to information on the date of taking the "Al-Muhandiseen" and "Al-Zir'ai" district (between which is the location of "Al-Thaqafa" district, indicated in various sources), leads to suggests that this name actually does not exist or is the same area that "Al-Majmuea al-Thaqafiya".
