Bentler Nature Park, Nature park in Sariyer district of Istanbul, Turkey.
The 16.3-hectare protected area contains numerous walking paths through dense forest alongside three historical water reservoirs in the Belgrad Forest complex.
The park derives its name from three dams constructed between 1750 and 1839: Topuzlu Dam, Valide Dam, and New Dam, which served Istanbul's water supply system.
The area maintains Ottoman-era water management structures, including historic dams and fountains that demonstrate Turkish engineering achievements from past centuries.
Visitors can access the park through two entrances, the main Belgrad Forest gate or Kurtkemeri Gate, with fees required for both pedestrians and vehicles.
A registered natural monument, a 269-year-old plane tree stands next to the Valide Dam, marking centuries of natural and human history in the area.
