Abshar Park, Tehran

Tehran's Abshar Park (Waterfall Park) is one of the most popular and attractive natural and recreational spaces in northern Tehran, located in District 22. It was built to expand the city's green space and to give residents a pleasant place to relax. This large park (covering about 200 hectares) is designed in terraces in the style of a Persian garden, and lies next to Chitgar Lake at the end of the Hemmat Expressway West, on Shahid Kharrazi Expressway. With its beautiful scenery and artificial waterfall, the park has given a distinctive identity to the heights of northern Tehran and offers a green, peaceful setting in which to escape the crowds and pollution of the city.

The Abshar Park recreation complex offers a variety of facilities, including walking trails, extensive green space, cafés and rest areas, meeting the needs of families, tourists and nature lovers. The beautiful view over Chitgar Lake and Tehran, especially at night, makes a visit even more worthwhile. The clean, cool air of the area also gives visitors a welcome change from stressful city days and makes it possible to spend a lively day in the heart of nature.

The easiest way to reach the park is by private car or ride-hailing taxi. Access is via the Hemmat Expressway West and Shahid Kharrazi Expressway, following the sign "Abshar Park Exit". At present there is still no dedicated metro or bus station for the park, but the Iran Khodro metro station and the Shahrak-e Shahid Bagheri bus stop provide public access.
