Yaşampark Mesire Yeri

About Yaşampark Mesire Yeri

Yaşampark is a forest picnic area in the hills above Balçova, in the Çetin Emeç neighbourhood at the locality known as Cennetçeşme. It appears on the İzmir Governorship's official list of the province's picnic areas (mesire yerleri) and nature parks, under the Gaziemir forestry office of the regional forestry directorate. It is one of a cluster of green spaces on the wooded slopes south of Balçova, along with the picnic grounds around the Balçova cable car and the Balçova Therapy Forest, and is used by local families for weekend picnics among the trees. The Governorship list is published with the rules that apply in the province's picnic areas, and fire and barbecue use can be restricted in the summer fire season, so check current notices before planning a barbecue.
