Fatih Sultan Mehmet Nature Park

The nature park spans 111 hectares within Belgrad Forest, containing deciduous trees such as Kasnak oak, Turkey oak, hornbeam, chestnut, and oriental plane.

This protected area opened in 2011 as part of a network of nine nature parks established to preserve the ecological resources of Belgrad Forest.

The grounds honor Ottoman Sultan Mehmed, who ruled from 1444 to 1446 and 1451 to 1481, transforming Constantinople into the Ottoman capital Istanbul.

The park features outdoor restaurants, coffee houses, playgrounds, and designated spaces for picnics, hiking, and cycling throughout its grounds.

The park supports a diverse ecosystem where wild boars, grey wolves, jackals, foxes, and numerous bird species coexist within the urban boundaries.
