Kültürpark
İzmir Kültürpark
A large city-center park where the İzmir International Fair has been held since 1936, with lawns, a lake and exhibition halls for strolling.
Kültürpark was built on the old city district destroyed by the great fire of 1922 and covers about 40 hectares. The park has an artificial lake, an open-air theater, a parachute tower, a natural history museum, art pavilions and wide shaded lawns, making it the first choice for locals walking and jogging. Each year in August and September, the long-established İzmir International Fair (IEF) takes place here, with concerts and night markets during the event. Entry is free. Several gates lead to Alsancak and Basmane. From Basmane station it is about a 5-minute walk.
