Metro'da inip Çamlıca Tepesi'ne yürürken şırıl şırıl akan su sesiyle dikkatimi bu park geçti ve çeşmeyi görür görmez parka girdim. Tertemiz, sakin, güvenlikli, çiçekleri ve ağaçları bakımlı.
Ailelere, çocuklara uygun; kalabalığa karışmadan su sesiyle kendini dinleyip, tefekküre, kitap okumaya, yeşillik içinde su sesiyle çalışmayı sevenlere,odaklanıp iş/eğitim hazırlıkları yapmaya elverişli bir ortamı var. Çamlıca tepesi kalabalıkken burası ara mola için tercih edilebilir:)

While I was getting off the metro and walking to Çamlıca Hill, this park caught my attention with the sound of flowing water and I entered the park as soon as I saw the fountain. It is spotlessly clean, calm, safe, and its flowers and trees are well-groomed.
Suitable for families and children; It has a suitable environment for those who like to listen to the sound of water, meditate, read books, or work in the greenery with the sound of water, without mixing with the crowd, and to focus and prepare for work/education. While Çamlıca Hill is crowded, this place can be preferred for a break :)
