Danamandıra Nature Park (Turkish: Danamandıra Tabiat Parkı) is a nature park in Silivri district of Istanbul Province, Turkey.[1]
The forest area with lakes in it located just southwest of Danamandıra village in Silivri district in the European side of Istanbul Province was registered in 2006 as a protected area for the conservation of nature.[2] On 16 December 2015, the recreational area was established as a nature park featuring three lakes,[3] with reed covered shore.[4]
In 2016, the nature park was leased by the municipality of the neighboring district Esenyurt for 49 years in order to provide a recreation area for its residents, who live in a crowded district.[3][4][5] The opening took place in mid May that year.[3]
A fee for vehicles is charged at the park entrance.[4]
