Lyon Park, Urban park in Erebuni District, Armenia
Lyon Park is a large green space in southeastern Yerevan with an artificial lake at its center. The park features walking paths, seating areas, and recreational grounds that can be accessed from multiple entry points around the neighborhood.
The water at the center of the park was created many centuries ago by an ancient king to supply water to the city. The park itself was reshaped in later times and received its current name after the region came under new rulers.
The name of this park reflects Yerevan's shifting history under different rulers and cultural influences. Today, locals use the green spaces and waterside areas to gather with family and friends, making it a social hub for the neighborhood.
The park is easy to reach and has multiple paths for entering and exploring the grounds. The best times to visit are on days with good weather when the paths are dry and shaded areas are available.
The water in the park is used by visitors for windsurfing, which is surprising for a landlocked country. This water sport opportunity attracts both beginners and more experienced athletes to the spot.
