Description: In the Ankara book of the Turkey Guide authored by Hüseyin Ortak, the wide and green garden of the Turkish Grand National Assembly is depicted briefly: “The Assembly Park is also the garden of the Grand National Assembly. Being one of the oldest parks in Ankara, it is a well-kept recreational area which is visited often by people due to its accessibility.” (1) During the years when these words were written, Ankara stood out with its beautiful parks: Youth Park, Park of the Ministry of Finance, İnönü Hisar Park, City Park, Hacettepe Park, Samanpazarı (Hay Market) Park, Emniyet (Security) Park, Kızılay (Red Crescent) Park, Zafer (Victory) Park, Kocatepe (Grandhill) Park, Sıhhıye (Health) Park, Rose Garden are some of them.
