Seğmenler Park in Ankara: location, walks and family visits
Seğmenler Parkı in Çankaya is a green space for walking and resting, laid out across a valley with ponds, play areas and the Seğmenler monument. Combine it with a visit to nearby Ankara neighbourhoods, while planning for the slopes.
Location and transport
Opened in 1983, the park lies in a valley between Atatürk Boulevard and İran Street in Çankaya. Open the park on the map. Choose an entrance and transport from your accommodation and check your return stop. Distance and gradients can differ by entrance.
What to do
Follow open paths and see trees, ponds and the Seğmenler monument; supervise children near water. The park has an amphitheatre and play spaces, though their availability and events on your chosen day are not guaranteed. It hosted cultural and artistic events in September 2026; check the current programme if you want to combine a walk with an event.
A simple visit plan
| Stage | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Before arrival | Check the weather, entrance and toilet location. |
| In the park | Choose a route that suits your ability and rest when needed. |
| Afterwards | Consider combining it with Çankaya or Kuğulu Park after checking the route. |
Time and costs
Check current opening arrangements and any admission charges before visiting. Budget separately for transport, cafés and individual activities; allow extra time to walk between parts of the park.
Families and accessibility
Some sections are sloped. Ask about an entrance and route suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs instead of assuming every path is accessible. Supervise children near ponds and steps, and agree on a meeting point.
Before leaving
Wear comfortable shoes, bring water and dress for Ankara weather. Paths may be slippery after rain.
