Maçka Park, Urban park in Şişli district, Istanbul, Turkey.

Maçka Park extends across green slopes with numerous walking paths, children's playgrounds, decorative pools, and rest areas in central Istanbul.

The land belonged to Dolmabahçe Palace gardens until the mid-19th century when authorities designated this area as public parkland for Istanbul residents.

The park received its current name, Maçka Democracy Park, in 1993 after renovations to recognize its importance in Turkish political movements.

The Maçka Gondola connects the park to Taksim Square, offering transportation while providing views of the surrounding neighborhood and Bosphorus.

Tennis courts, basketball facilities, and dedicated exercise zones make this park a central location for sports activities in Istanbul.
