Pishkuh Forest Park

Pishkuh Forest Park is one of the most important natural and recreational attractions of Torbat-e Heydarieh in Razavi Khorasan Province. It lies at the foot of the Seh Qolleh heights, southeast of the city. Covering about 800 hectares, this mountain park is among the largest forest parks in Razavi Khorasan Province, and its elevated position gives visitors broad views of the city and its surroundings. Construction began in the late 1990s (late 1370s Solar Hijri), and as green spaces were developed and tourist facilities added, it gradually became one of Torbat-e Heydarieh's major recreation areas.

Besides its extensive green space and planted trees, Pishkuh Forest Park offers a variety of facilities for recreation and sports. Trees such as Japanese mulberry, Judas tree (redbud) and Persian lilac (bead tree) have been planted in different parts of the park, and seasonal flowers add to its beauty. Facilities include an artificial waterfall, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a cafe, an amusement park, a children's playground, gazebos, walking paths, a cycling track, a hiking route and sports fields. The statue of a mountaineer and the memorial to the Unknown Martyrs are also among the park's notable features. Because the park sits in the heights overlooking the city, its higher points in particular offer views of the cityscape and the surrounding countryside.

To reach Pishkuh Forest Park, you can use the roads entering Torbat-e Heydarieh and get there via Parastar Boulevard and Abshar Street. The park's location near the main road from Mashhad to the cities of southern and southeastern Iran also makes it easy for travellers to reach. Admission to the park is free, and spring and autumn are the best times to visit, thanks to the milder weather and good conditions for spending time outdoors. While in the park, please avoid damaging trees and flowers, leaving litter, or lighting fires in unsuitable places, and help keep the green space and the environment clean.
