İsmet İnönü Parkı

About İsmet İnönü Parkı

İsmet İnönü Parkı is a large Çankaya Municipality park in Birlik Mahallesi, next to the 365 shopping centre. It lies beside Lozan Park, and together with the neighbouring Zafer Park these parks carry names that recall the founding and liberation of the Turkish Republic, as the municipality put it in 2018. At the opening, mayor Alper Taşdelen said the park was built on 56 dönüm of land, and a 2018 report gives a total of about 57000 square metres, of which 22000 are green space. The park and the Lozan Zafer Anıtı (Lausanne Victory Monument) inside it were opened by CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu together with Ankara MP Gülsün Bilgehan, a granddaughter of İsmet İnönü, with a fireworks show and a concert by Volkan Konak. A ceremonial area greets visitors at the entrance. Beyond it are a central square, a cafeteria with indoor and outdoor sections, a large ornamental pool, a natural stream 2 metres wide, and cycle and vehicle paths. According to the municipality, a biological pond of 1495 square metres brings a piece of nature into the city. Birlik Çankaya Evi, one of the social centres run by the municipality, is also inside the park area. Lozan Park and Zafer Park are next door, so the three can be walked together.
