Chitgar Park, Tehran

Chitgar Forest Park is one of the largest and oldest parks in Tehran, located in the west of the capital and adjacent to the Persian Gulf Martyrs’ Lake (Chitgar Lake). With an area of more than 900 hectares, this park is considered the natural lung of Tehran and is a green haven for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and breathe in the heart of nature.
With its abundance of pine, cypress and acacia trees, cycling paths, playgrounds, gazebos and picnic areas, Chitgar has provided an ideal environment for families, athletes and nature lovers. In the mornings, you can walk on tree-lined paths and enjoy the cool air and the smell of damp soil, and in the evenings, experience indescribable peace in the shade of trees and the sounds of birds.
One of the most attractive features of Chitgar Park is its proximity to the artificial Chitgar Lake, which has created a wonderful view of water and sky alongside the forest nature. Cycling by the lake, boating, water activities and various food courts are among the most popular entertainments in this complex.
Chitgar Park has a new face in every season; spring with freshness and blooming flowers, summer with cool breeze and tree shadows, autumn with golden leaves and winter with heartwarming silence. This park is a symbol of the harmony of nature and urban life — a place where Tehran calms down for a moment and its people breathe again in the green embrace of nature.
