Culture Park
The Culture Park was established on January 1, 1936, under the direction of Behcet Uz. In accordance with Atatürk’s suggestion, the development of Kültürpark was intended to forge commercial ties with other nations.
The Culture Park encompasses an area of 420.000 m2. It includes 14 indoor exhibition halls, 4 conference halls, the Atatürk Open Air Theater, the İsmet nonü Art Center, the İzmir Art – Fair – Marriage Department, the Celal Atik Sports Hall, the Amusement Park, the Zoo, the Parachute Tower, the Youth Theater, the Painting and Sculpture Museum, and the Izmir History and Art Museum. In addition, there are 1850-meter jogging tracks, a swimming pool, an indoor sports center, tennis courts, and synthetic football pitches.
There are almost 8000 trees and 200 plants at Culturepark. According to the species of trees and vegetation cover, trees and vegetation are recorded. The annual fair held in Kültürpark lends the park an international flavor. IZFAS has also created a publication titled “Tree and Bush Species of Culture park” to enhance awareness of the vegetation in Culture park and to contribute to the development of nature consciousness.
Prior to the İzmir Fire of 1922, the majority of St. Stepanos Church and The Armenian Quarter were located inside the current park’s borders; however, this region was devastated by fire.
