The park is located on a reclaimed stretch of land that was historically part of the shoreline edge before coastal road expansions.
It sits immediately adjacent to the Güzelyalı seaside promenade, which is part of the extensive İzmir Kordon extension project.
The site acts as a key observation point for the 'İzmir Marina' activities located nearby.
Mithatpaşa Park, also known as Güzelyalı Park, is a prominent urban green space situated along the coastline of the Konak district in İzmir. The park features an extensive seaside promenade that directly faces the Gulf of İzmir. It serves as a connector between the residential Güzelyalı neighborhood and the coastal transport corridors. The park includes designated walking paths, seating areas, and landscaping maintained by the Konak Municipality. It is characterized by its linear layout stretching along Mithatpaşa Street. The area provides unobstructed views of the sunset over the gulf, making it a local focal point for evening recreation. It functions as a public transition zone between the high-traffic urban road and the waterfront.

Visit during weekday mornings to avoid the heavy evening crowds of local families and runners.
