Zafer Park

About Zafer Park

Zafer Park is a large neighbourhood-scale park run by Çankaya Municipality in Birlik Mahallesi, in the south of the city. It covers about 60,000 square metres and was opened in May 2018. It is not the same place as the Zafer Parkı in Kızılay or the 30 Ağustos Zafer Parkı in Yenimahalle. The park sits right beside Lozan Park and İsmet İnönü Parkı, which the municipality opened at the same time. Together with Kurtuluş Savaşı Parkı in Çayyolu and Ahlatlıbel Atatürk Parkı, the municipality describes this group as parks whose names recall the founding of the Turkish Republic and the War of Independence. Inside you will find children's play areas, walking and cycling paths, a running track and a good spread of sports facilities: two basketball courts plus volleyball and tennis courts. A biological pond of 1,384 square metres forms the green centrepiece, and each of the four entrances is marked with a name sign. There is also a security building on site. Practical notes: the park lies between 451. Cadde and 429. Sokak, next to the Zirvekent-2 housing estate. Combining it with a stroll through the neighbouring Lozan and İsmet İnönü parks makes for a longer green walk.
