The parks in Iran have an atmosphere that’s hard to find in
the U.S. Parks here are usually a family affair, involving tons of food, tea, sports
(typically soccer and badminton) laughter, and plenty of conversation.
What a lot of families will do is bring food – usually sandwiches
or kebab – and have dinner sitting right there at the park. The particular park
I visited with my family, Darayee Park, also had a restaurant with ample
seating space:
There was a good variety to the menu – traditional Persian
food to pizza. And ok, I lied. The best chicken kebab I’ve ever had was at
Darayee Park:
If you’re looking for top-notch chicken kebab in Tehran,
Darayee Park and Darband are the places to go.
This park in particular was sort of like a micro zoo. There were
a few geese, some rabbits, a monkey, roosters, pigeons, and chickens (kept in
separate cages, of course!):
The park had a typical play area for kids, who were running
around having a great time. There were also motor boats in (dirty) water, which
I rode on:
I will miss the liveliness of Iranian parks.
