The park is colloquially known as 'Suni Gölet' due to the engineered water feature that defines its layout.
It serves as a critical flood-mitigation and urban cooling element for the rapidly developing Şükrüpaşa neighborhood.
The park's design emphasizes transition zones between the dense residential blocks and the adjacent major transport artery, Bülent Ecevit Boulevard.
Barış Parkı, locally referred to as the Suni Gölet (Artificial Pond), is a prominent recreational space located in the Şükrüpaşa district of Edirne. The park is centered around a man-made water body that serves as a focal point for local leisure activities. It features landscaped walking paths, green spaces for relaxation, and dedicated zones for children's recreation. The facility is situated along the Bülent Ecevit Boulevard, integrating urban greenery into the modern residential sector of Edirne. It functions as a community hub for residents to congregate, particularly during the warmer months when the pond area remains a central feature. The site is maintained as an open-access public park serving the Edirne Merkez municipality.
