park
Oxygen Park in Education City is a unique 130,000-square-meter green space specifically designed to promote physical activity and well-being. Its design, inspired by nature, is characterized by curved, hilly paths and lush vegetation. The park is divided into two main areas: the 'active' area with running and cycling tracks and the 'passive' area with gardens and seating for relaxation. An outstanding feature is the underground 'refreshing breeze' passage, which is cooled by an innovative system, allowing for pleasant running even on hot days. The undulating landscape with its gentle slopes and valleys creates a dynamic environment for exercise. At night, the park is bathed in a magical light by thousands of small LED lights embedded in the paths, creating a safe and atmospheric ambiance. Oxygen Park also features balloon sculptures, water features, and shaded areas under the 'leaf' structures. It not only serves the students and staff of Education City but is open to the entire public, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
