Persian Gulf Forest Park

Persian Gulf Forest Park is located in Bandar Abbas, at the start of Imam Khomeini Boulevard, where it meets Persian Gulf Boulevard. Covering more than 25 hectares, it is considered one of the largest and most popular urban green spaces in southern Iran. Its diverse plant species, shaded walking paths, amenities, and space for sports and recreation make the park an ideal destination for both residents and travellers.

The park is home to a wide variety of plants, including samar (acacia) trees, palms, eucalyptus, oleander, willow, mulberry, and ornamental trees such as palms, date palms and oleander. These plants grow especially on the mountain slopes and beside water sources such as the Eskandariyeh Spring, and thanks to the region's particular climate, the area has a high level of biodiversity. The Eskandariyeh Spring and the many qanats in the area keep the land green and the soil fertile, which helps these plants grow.

The best time to visit Persian Gulf Forest Park is autumn, winter and early spring. In these seasons the weather is pleasant and the park is well suited to walking, exercise and recreation. The park can be crowded on public holidays, so it is recommended to visit in the middle of the week. The park is easy to reach via Imam Khomeini Boulevard and Persian Gulf Boulevard, and there are clearly marked routes to its different sections. Following safety guidelines, keeping the park clean and practising responsible nature tourism are especially important here.
