Başakşehir Millet Bahçesi

4.5 ·

Take a relaxed break at Başakşehir Millet Bahçesi, a sprawling lakeside park where locals come to unwind. Walk or cycle around the fountain-filled pond, watch the ducks, and let the kids loose on the playgrounds.

📖

Full description

Başakşehir Millet Bahçesi is a vast, organised city park built around a lake with fountains, where ducks, seagulls and fish are part of the scenery. Open lawns, walking and cycling paths, playgrounds and a paid games area make it a practical outing for families and locals rather than a sightseeing stop.

Visitors can hire a double bike to circle the pond. The park is open from early morning until midnight, so it works for a morning walk or an evening stroll.

Reviewers note that it gets muddy in winter and on rainy days.

Reviews

A vast, greenish, well organized, and beautiful park. Kids areas available. But, very muddy in winter and rainy days. The fountain and the lakes are the best there with ducks, seagulls, and fish too. Toilets and mosques are clean and well prepared.
