It is built along the banks of the Nilüfer Stream, which historically served as a border between ancient kingdoms.
The park includes a 1.5-kilometer-long walking and cycling track.
The project was designed to serve as a major 'green lung' to combat industrial expansion in the Nilüfer district.
It houses a multi-purpose sports complex that meets international standards for various athletic competitions.
Hudavendigar City Park, known locally as Hüdavendigar Kent Parkı, is the largest urban park in Bursa, covering an area of approximately 510,000 square meters. The park is bisected by the Nilüfer Creek, which is crossed by several pedestrian bridges connecting the landscaped riverbanks. Facilities include tennis courts, basketball courts, and professional-grade football fields. It features extensive walking and cycling paths that track the river's path through the Nilüfer district. The park contains a large outdoor amphitheater used for local cultural events and concerts. Artificial ponds and decorative water features are integrated into the garden design. Public rest areas and picnic zones are distributed throughout the grounds. The terrain is largely flat, making it accessible for strollers and mobility aids.
