Mehmet Akif Ersoy Parkı

About Mehmet Akif Ersoy Parkı

Mehmet Akif Ersoy Parkı is a city park in Eryaman, in the Göksu Mahallesi of Etimesgut, run by Etimesgut Municipality. The municipality lists it on Selçuklular Caddesi beside the metro station, which gives it easy access by public transport; a metro entrance and bus stops on Selçuklular Caddesi carry the park name. According to the municipal park register the park covers 40000 square metres, of which 22824 square metres is green space. Facilities listed by the municipality include a children's play area, a fitness area, a running track, a football pitch, gazebos and toilets. In 2026 the park was renewed as part of a municipal programme for parks in Göksu Mahallesi, and a skateboard park was built inside it. Local news accounts announced the skate park opening for 19 May 2026, the Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, describing it as something young people in Eryaman had long been waiting for. Practical notes: the park also houses an Etimesgut Municipality service point (Eryaman 1. Etap, inside Mehmet Akif Ersoy Parkı) where residents can handle municipal payments. It is a different place from the much larger Göksu Parkı, which lies about 1.6 km away.
