Laleh Park

Laleh Park, formerly known as Farah Park, is one of the largest and best-known parks in Tehran. It is located in District 6 of the Tehran Municipality, in the Amirabad neighborhood. The park was founded in 1345 (1966) at the request of Farah Pahlavi and by order of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Before that, this military area was known as Jalaliyeh Garden, and the army used it for horse riding and parades. Laleh Park covers about 35 hectares and lies within District 6 of Tehran.
