Güzel Sanatlar Parkı is a waterfront green space located in the Bostanlı neighborhood of Karşıyaka, İzmir. The park is characterized by its linear layout stretching along the Aegean Sea coastline. It features sculptures and artistic installations, reflecting its namesake, which translates to 'Fine Arts Park'. The area includes walking and cycling paths that form part of the larger Bostanlı coastal promenade. It serves as a focal point for locals to watch the sunset over the İzmir Gulf. The park is integrated into the city’s coastal urban design, connecting residential areas to the maritime walkway.

Combine your visit with a walk towards the nearby Bostanlı fishing shelter to see local boats.
Carry a light jacket as the sea breeze can be cool even during warm months.
Do not attempt to swim in the water immediately bordering the park as it is not a designated beach area.
