Ghitarieh Park

Ghitarieh Park, one of the oldest and most popular parks in Tehran, is located in District 1 of the Tehran Municipality, in the Ghitarieh neighbourhood. Covering about 122,000 square metres on the slopes of the historic Ghitarieh hills, the park is bordered by the Farmanieh neighbourhood to the north, Piroozi Square and Sadr Expressway to the south, Chizar to the east and Shariati Street to the west. Before it was officially established in 1356 (1977), the garden belonged to the sister of Naser al-Din Shah, and it was later turned into a public space through the efforts of Dr Gholamreza Nikpey, then mayor of Tehran.

Combining natural greenery with recreational and cultural facilities, Ghitarieh Park is an ideal destination for families, athletes and culture lovers. Ancient trees such as oak, plane, elm and silver cypress, together with seasonal flower beds, give the park a charming appearance. Its facilities include a 6D and 7D cinema, a skating rink, badminton courts, ping-pong and chess tables, numerous gazebos, snack bars and cafés. The flower beds and lawns, alongside the old trees, create a beautiful and pleasant landscape.

To reach Ghitarieh Park, you can take the Ghitarieh metro station and walk a few minutes to the park. In addition, BRT lines such as Line 106, running from Shahid Afshar Terminal to Laleh Terminal, serve the Ghitarieh stop. If you come by private car, parking is available around the Farhangsara-ye Melal (Nations Cultural Centre) and on the streets leading to the park. The best time to visit is spring, when the blossoming trees and mild weather create a delightful atmosphere for visitors.
