Français: Parc public avec de grandes prairies et quelques étangs et boisements. Présence de Benekli sinekkapan en été et de Kocabaş en hiver. Si vous passez / habitez dans le coin il peut être intéressant d'aller voir ce parc étonnamment grand pour un parc situé à l'intérieur de la ville. La diversité des habitats de ce parc (Prairies, étang, boisements...) permet au cortège d'oiseaux des jardins de le peupler aisément. Par exemple Mavi Baştankara, Büyük baþtankara, Kayın Baştankarası, Kızılgerdan ou encore Karatavuk et Uzunkuyruklu baştankara. 4 pics peuplent ou sont de passage dans le parc Yeşil Ağaçkakan, Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, Küçük ağaçkakan et Ortanca Ağaçkakan. Au niveau des oiseaux d'eau, Küçük batağan , Sakarmeke ou encore Sutavuðu et Gri balýkçýl sont de la partie. Il y a aussi un reposoir à Karabağ martı sur l'un des étangs.
