About 100. Yıl Cumhuriyet Millet Bahçesi

100. Yıl Cumhuriyet Millet Bahçesi, also known locally as the Mutlu Ege Millet Bahçesi, is a national garden run by Mamak Municipality and named for the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. It was built on about 130,000 square metres of land between the Mutlu and Ege neighbourhoods, according to the municipality's former mayor. The garden is designed as an everyday green space for exercise and leisure, with walking paths, cycle paths, sports areas and children's playgrounds. The municipality runs sports facilities here, a branch of its 100. Yıl Kahvecisi café and the MABEL Anadolu Sofrası restaurant. Work is under way on landscaping and a 4,467 square metre amphitheatre stage, which is to be named after the actor and director Rutkay Aziz, along with a 45 metre flagpole. The municipality uses the garden for public events, such as an open-air pilates session held during European Mobility Week in September 2026. Practical notes: the park lies in eastern Ankara between the Mutlu and Ege neighbourhoods of Mamak, and a bus stop named Mutlu Ege Millet Bahçesi serves it.
