Description

Because Abbasaga Park was an old cemetry, the trees are mature and have many large holes. The aleksander use the holes for breeding. It is good spot to watch them in close distance. Additionally, many species occasionally use the park during their movement between Maçka Park and Yildiz Wood. Abbasaga Park is a small park and does not take long to discover all parts. Nice for a short visit if you happen to be in the area.
