Neşet Suyu Nature Park

The nature park spans 67.47 hectares within the Belgrad Forest, featuring a 6-kilometer trail that circles a lake for outdoor activities.

Established in 2011, the park honors Professor Neşet Bey, who taught at Istanbul University's Forestry Faculty and served as its rector until 1924.

The grounds contain a historic cistern and an open-air prayer area with a mihrab, both registered as protected cultural heritage sites.

While entrance remains free for individuals, visitors should bring their own barbecue supplies as food options within the park are limited.

The park underwent soil rehabilitation in the early 2000s, closing picnic areas until 2005 to address ground compaction affecting tree root growth.
