Tire Gölet Parkı

About Tire Gölet Parkı

Tire Gölet Parkı is a recreation area laid out around an artificial pond in Atatürk Mahallesi, Tire. The pond was built for irrigation or water supply, and its shores have been landscaped as a park that is good for walks. The park doubles as the town's main festival ground, also called the Gölet Şenlik Alanı. According to the Ministry of Education's out-of-school learning guide, it hosts Tire's liberation day events, national holiday celebrations, the Fig Festival and open-air cinema nights, with room for 10,000 to 15,000 people. In July 2025, for example, Tire Municipality and İzmir Metropolitan Municipality held free open-air film screenings here. The area is open 24 hours a day, and Tire Municipality runs food and drink outlets, a café and a restaurant on site.
