Bandar Anzali Forest Park

Bandar Anzali Forest Park is one of the natural and recreational attractions of Gilan Province. It lies at the eastern entrance to the city, along the Rasht–Anzali road. Covering about 13 hectares, it was built by the Bandar Anzali Municipality as one of the region's newest green spaces and has quickly become a popular stop for visitors. Its position right at the start of the city makes it a good place for travellers to rest and begin a pleasant outing in the lush nature of northern Iran. Towering trees and a woodland atmosphere, together with Gilan's humid, mild climate, create a calm and pleasant setting for visitors.

With its good facilities, the forest park is an ideal destination for families and tourists. Gazebos for resting, a children's playground, restrooms, and a safe, clean environment all make a visit enjoyable. Although there is no restaurant inside the park, there are plenty of places to eat nearby. There is also a handicraft shop, which offers a good chance to pick up local souvenirs. The park's proximity to other major attractions of the area, such as the Anzali Wetland and the port of Bandar Anzali, greatly adds to its appeal and makes it possible to plan a full day of nature sightseeing.

Bandar Anzali Forest Park is easy to reach via the main roads into the city, and because it lies on the Rasht–Anzali route, it is a common stopping point for travellers. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when Gilan's humid, temperate weather is well suited to outdoor recreation. Note that a fee must be paid to bring a vehicle into the park. While visiting, please practise responsible nature tourism, including keeping the environment clean, avoiding damage to vegetation and using the facilities properly, as this plays an important part in preserving this valuable natural space.
