Ab-o-Atash Park (Water and Fire Park)

🧭What kind of place is it?

The park is also known as Hazrat-e Ebrahim Park and opened in July 2009. It covers about 24,000 square metres and mixes greenery, fountains, display structures and walking areas. Real water and fire are used in the design of its main features.

🏛️What was it built for?

The park was built for city outings and spending time outdoors. Its open-air amphitheatre is meant for celebrations, ceremonies and street performances, and the paths around it let you keep walking between the different parts of the Abbasabad area.

👀What you will see

• Four fire towers on the east side are about ten metres tall and are designed to send out flames.
• Water jets burst up from the ground in a circular area, using a large number of outlets.
• The open-air amphitheatre has a large tent-like canopy and concrete steps for seating.
• Sculptures stand in different parts of the park, so there is more to see than the fountains.
• Tabiat Bridge carries on from this area across the Modarres Expressway and leads to Taleghani Park.

💡Something interesting

The name Water and Fire comes from the park's two signature features: fountains that shoot water up from the ground and towers that produce flames. So the name is more than a poetic title for a green space.
