Overview

ABB-ANKA Park, formerly known as Ankapark or Wonderland Eurasia, is a large-scale amusement facility located in the Yenimahalle district of Ankara. The park gained international attention as one of the largest theme parks in Europe upon its initial development. It features a sprawling layout covering approximately 1.3 million square meters. The site contains numerous roller coasters, a massive dinosaur-themed area, and various indoor and outdoor entertainment zones. Following a series of legal disputes and financial difficulties, the park faced long-term closure and significant site degradation. Current efforts by the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) have focused on legal recovery of the site and potential transformation into a public recreational space. The infrastructure currently remains largely inaccessible to the general public due to ongoing legal and safety concerns regarding the state of the rides.
