Small urban neighborhood park popular with locals — green lawns, walking paths, playgrounds and shaded benches. Good for environmental portraits, candid street-style scenes, seasonal foliage and intimate landscape shots. Best at golden hour and early morning for soft light and fewer people; weekdays are quieter. Easily accessible by tram/bus; street parking is limited. No entry fee; respectful behavior around locals advised. Offers a slice of everyday Istanbul life rather than grand vistas.
