City Park, Urban park in Sangelaj, Tehran, Iran.
City Park is a large green space in central Tehran with landscaped gardens, walking paths, and designated areas for sports and recreation. The grounds span multiple sections, each offering different facilities and open areas for visitors to explore.
The park opened in 1951 as a significant addition to Tehran's development, marking the creation of the city's first public green space. Its construction during the Pahlavi era reflected efforts to introduce modern recreational areas to the expanding city.
The Central Library here, established in 1961, serves as a gathering place where residents borrow books and study in quiet reading areas. This facility reflects how the space has become woven into the daily routines of Tehran's inhabitants.
The park has several entrances along Fayaz Bakhsh Street and near Hafez and Khayyam Streets for easy access. Public transportation options connect well to the location, making it convenient to reach from different parts of the city.
One section of the park maintains a birds garden with several species including budgerigars and peafowl in open enclosures. Another area features an aquarium housing coelacanths, arowana, and stingrays in specialized tanks.
