Nijaz Duraković Park, Urban park in Marijin Dvor, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Nijaz Duraković Park is a green space in Sarajevo featuring facilities for outdoor recreation and sports. The grounds include a basketball court, playground equipment, and open areas designed for visitors of different ages.
The site originally formed part of an Ottoman endowment and served as a hospital during Ottoman times. It was later adapted for military purposes during the Yugoslav period in the mid-20th century.
The park was renamed in 2018 to honor Nijaz Duraković, a prominent Bosnian intellectual and political figure from the region. The new name reflects the community's connection to this historical personality.
The park is easily accessible in a central neighborhood and offers clear pathways for visitors to move around. Its location connects it to other nearby green spaces for those wanting to explore the area.
During the siege of the city, residents transformed the park into vegetable gardens to feed the community. This practical adaptation shows how the space became vital for survival during that difficult period.
