    is a park located in Baghdad, the capital city of Iraq. It is considered one of the largest public parks in Baghdad and the Middle East region. The park covers a wide area and offers beautiful green spaces and stunning landscapes. Al-Zawraa Park was built in the 1950s and has been renovated and developed over the years. It is characterized by its vast green gardens, dense trees, and diverse water features such as lakes and fountains. There are also walking paths and seating areas, making it an ideal place for strolling and enjoying nature. The park offers various entertainment facilities, including playgrounds for children, a football field, and outdoor sports courts. It also has restaurants and cafes where visitors can enjoy a snack or a drink after a tour of the park. Al-Zawraa Park is a popular destination for families and visitors in Baghdad, where they can relax and have fun in a beautiful natural environment in the heart of the city.

    I visited the park a few years ago and it was very nice and clean but yesterday I visited it and noticed the following: 1. litter is everywhere, bottles, plastic bags straws and other plastic waste is everywhere you go, 2. People are so savage and dirty, they leave their litter on the grass and I saw a teenage boy threw a big piece of rock at the sleeping tiger and when I yelled at him he smirked and threw another big rock. 3. the washroom is a disaster I paid 2000 iraqi dinar for 2 persons to enter and there was the shock the place is very stinky very unhealthy the floor is wet with muddy water, my 4 year old daughter couldn’t pee there. 4. there is also loud noises everywhere It’s obvious that it’s not a good place to keep animals they are living in a bad condition, I hope anyone in the animal rights organisation see my comment, I hope they return the animals to their natural habitats because they don’t deserve such treatment.

    Alzawra Park in Baghdad presents a disappointing experience for visitors, characterized by a lackluster atmosphere and limited attractions. The park, while initially appearing as a promising recreational space, falls short of expectations, leaving visitors with a sense of boredom. One of the primary issues lies in the park's insufficient variety of activities and amenities. The limited selection of recreational options fails to engage visitors, making it challenging to spend a meaningful amount of time there. Moreover, the park's overall design lacks creativity and fails to capitalize on its potential to be a vibrant and inviting space. Dull landscaping and unappealing structures contribute to an uninspiring environment, robbing visitors of the visual appeal that is essential for an enjoyable outing. The absence of well-maintained greenery further detracts from the overall aesthetics, leaving the park with a drab and lifeless appearance. Furthermore, the lack of cultural or educational elements within Alzawra Park leaves visitors with little to explore or learn. Parks often serve as communal spaces that can showcase local history, art, or natural beauty, yet Alzawra Park seems devoid of such enriching elements. This absence diminishes its potential to be a multifaceted destination and leaves visitors with a sense of missed opportunities. In conclusion, Alzawra Park in Baghdad falls short of providing an engaging and enjoyable experience due to its limited activities, uninspiring design, and lack of cultural or educational elements. Visitors seeking a vibrant and stimulating recreational space may find this park to be a disappointing choice.
