About 2. Yüzyıl Parkı Batıkent Rekreasyon Alanı

2. Yüzyıl Parkı, also known as the Batıkent Rekreasyon Alanı, is a large recreation area built by Ankara Metropolitan Municipality in the Kentkoop neighbourhood of Batıkent, in Yenimahalle. The municipality turned a 431600 square metre site that had been lying unused into parkland, and opened the first phase to the public in March 2024, saying the second phase would follow in the summer. At the opening the municipality listed a youth centre, a library building, a pensioners' lounge, a biological pond, rest and viewing terraces, a restaurant, an indoor sports building, a nursery and a women's lounge. Sports facilities include two basketball courts, two tennis courts and a volleyball court, and the grounds have about 7 kilometres of cycle path, 9 kilometres of walking paths and children's play areas. The first phase alone brought 7000 trees, 160000 square metres of lawn, an amphitheatre-style seating area and a car park for 1000 vehicles. In August 2025 the municipality featured the park under the name 2. Yüzyıl Parkı among the recreation areas where residents spend summer days, highlighting its sports, rest and play areas, six rest and viewing terraces and its cycling and walking routes.
