Merkez Park is an 82-acre public park located a few meters from the Sabanci Central Mosque. The bigger portion of the park lies on the west bank of the Seyhan River with only about 8 acres on the east bank.
The park is a popular relaxation point for locals and tourists alike and is, therefore, the best place to mingle and learn about this historic city. The park is well landscaped with a wide variety of plants and trees. There are about 3km of cycling and walking paths and a youth section with a skating court, mini-amphitheater, and ground chess.
There are also over ten ponds in the park and a children’s playground. For those into rowing, there is a rowing club within the park providing rowing at the Seyhan River.
