The park is situated on land reclaimed from the Marmara Sea as part of the Maltepe coastal filling project.
It forms a segment of a larger 1.2 million square meter recreational area designed for Istanbul's Asian side.
The park provides direct, panoramic views of the Princes' Islands (Adalar) across the water.
The site includes infrastructure specifically designed to mitigate wind exposure from the sea.
Beach Park in Maltepe is a dedicated waterfront recreational zone forming part of the extensive Maltepe Orhangazi City Park, one of the largest coastal reclamation projects in Istanbul. The park features dedicated pedestrian paths, cycling lanes, and expansive green spaces directly adjacent to the Marmara Sea. It serves as a community hub for outdoor fitness, hosting multi-purpose sports courts and children's playgrounds within its boundaries. The area is characterized by its flat topography, making it accessible for strollers and wheelchair users. Because it is reclaimed land, it provides an unobstructed view of the Marmara Sea and the nearby Princes' Islands. Visitors frequent the park primarily for walking, jogging, and seaside picnicking during milder weather conditions. The park connects seamlessly to the wider coastal boulevard, allowing for continuous movement along the Maltepe shoreline.

Bring a windbreaker as the coastal location can experience strong sea breezes even on sunny days.
Utilize the designated cycling lanes if renting a bike, as pedestrian paths can become crowded.
Carry sun protection, as the park is largely exposed with limited overhead tree cover in some open zones.
Avoid visiting during weekend peak hours if seeking solitude, as the park experiences very high foot traffic from local residents.
