Jamshidieh Park

🧭What kind of place is it?

Jamshidieh is not a flat city park; its height changes from one part to the next. A lake, a waterfall and stone water features sit among the greenery. The main area is about ten hectares and reaches the slopes and the Kolakchal trail to the north and west.

🏛️What was it built for?

The park was built for the public and opened in May 1978. The land had belonged to Jamshid Davallu. Later the Ferdowsi section was added beyond it, extending the hillside walking area.

👀What you will see

• The lake inside the park, with the waterfall next to it, forms part of the park's water area.
• Stone water features sit among the plants, and stone plays a large part in the park's look.
• Stone sculptures by Naser Houshmand Vaziri stand in parts of the park.
• The Ferdowsi Garden, beyond Jamshidieh, carries the mountain setting further with stone, trees and flower beds.
• The climb to the Kolakchal shelter starts beside the park, so a walk in the park leads on to this mountain trail.

💡Something interesting

The first plan for this land was a care home for the elderly, but in the end it was decided to build a public park. The name Jamshidieh comes from the landowner, Jamshid Davallu.
