Niavaran Park

Niavaran Park (Bustan-e Niavaran), one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in Tehran, is located in Tehran's Municipal District 1, close to Niavaran Square. It lies at the northern end of Pasdaran Street (formerly Saltanatabad) and covers an area of about 62 hectares. The garden was designed in the style of Persian-Islamic gardens by English engineers and built by the renowned architect Sardar Afkham. Its architectural features include numerous staircases, fountains and large pools, which give the park a distinctive character.

Niavaran Park has a number of unique features, including its multiple terraces and varied flights of steps, which add to the beauty and intricacy of its design. The park has two main entrances, to the north and to the south, both opening onto Pasdaran Street. Combining natural greenery with recreational and cultural facilities, Niavaran Park is an ideal destination for families, athletes and culture lovers. Century-old trees, such as plane trees around 150 years old, along with seasonal flower beds, give the park a delightful look. Its facilities include 6D and 7D cinemas, a skating rink, badminton courts, ping-pong and chess tables, numerous gazebos, snack bars and cafés. In addition, Niavaran Park is well known for its morning group exercise sessions and is a popular spot for family gatherings and romantic dates.

To get to Niavaran Park, you can take the metro to Tajrish or Gheytarieh station, then continue by taxi or by bus on the Tajrish–Darabad, Saba Boulevard–Azgol or Resalat Square–Ghods Square routes. In addition, BRT lines such as Line 106, running from Shahid Afshar Terminal to Laleh Terminal, serve the Niavaran stop. If you come by car, parking is available around the Niavaran Cultural Center and on the streets leading to the park. The best time to visit is spring, when the trees are in blossom and the weather is pleasant, creating a delightful atmosphere for visitors.
