Tuska Forest Park

Tuska Forest Park is one of the most important and distinctive green spaces in Tehran. It lies in District 15, next to South Kianshahr and the Azadegan Expressway. Covering about 100 hectares, the park has welcomed nature lovers and city visitors since the 1980s (the 1360s in the Solar Hijri calendar). Thanks to its decades-long history and its ecological importance, it is considered one of the capital's most outstanding forest parks.

The vegetation of Tuska Forest Park is varied and beautiful. Pine, poplar, plane, ash and bitter orange trees are scattered throughout, giving the setting a natural, charming look and creating a pleasant place to relax and unwind. The park's recreational and service facilities are also comprehensive: paved walking paths and dedicated cycling lanes, pavilions among the trees for picnics, plenty of benches for resting, sports halls and equipment, a swimming pool, a restaurant and café, a banquet hall, restrooms and a prayer room, along with areas with gas grills for cooking. Together they offer visitors a full range of amenities and leisure options.

You can reach Tuska Park in Tehran by private car: simply take the Azadegan Expressway and enter the park before the intersection with Imam Ali Expressway. The nearest metro stations are Aliabad and Javanmard Ghassab on Line 1, and city bus lines also stop near the park. The best time to visit Tuska Park is usually spring and summer, when the weather is milder and the park's greenery is at its best. When visiting, it is important to follow the principles of responsible nature tourism: collect your litter, do not light fires, and avoid damaging the trees, so that this green space is preserved for future generations.
