Kuğulu Park in Ankara: swans, location, visits and transport
Kuğulu Park is a small green space in Çankaya known for its pond, swans and trees. It makes a pleasant break during a walk along Tunalı Hilmi Street and does not require a whole day.
An archival view of the park in 2008.
Location and getting there
The park is in Kavaklıdere, Çankaya, near Tunalı Hilmi Street and Atatürk Boulevard. Open the park location on the map. Choose a bus or taxi based on your starting point and check the stop and return route before travelling.
What to see
The pond, birds, paths, trees and seating are the focus of a visit. Watch birds from a distance and follow municipal instructions; do not feed them, and do not throw food or objects into the water.
Another view from 2008; the park may have changed since the photograph.
A practical visit
| Stage | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Getting there | Choose an entrance and a route from your accommodation. |
| At the park | Walk around the pond and pause on a bench; supervise children near the water. |
| Afterwards | Continue along Tunalı Hilmi Street and choose a nearby café to suit your budget. |
Costs and time
Admission was free according to information checked on 30 October 2026; food and drinks cost extra. Check for changes before travelling. Budget separately for transport and food, and remember café prices depend on what you order. Allow a short visit plus extra time for shopping or a meal nearby.
Families and accessibility
Keep children away from the pond edge and respect planted areas. If using a wheelchair or pushchair, check the entrance, paths and suitable toilets before arrival; facilities can change.
Before leaving
Dress for Ankara's weather, particularly in winter, and check the forecast; wet paths can be slippery. Archival images do not guarantee the park's present appearance or services.
