The park was developed as part of a municipal urban renewal project to reclaim coastal land for public botanical use.
Its location provides a direct line of sight to Giresun Island, the only inhabited island in the Black Sea.
The garden contains specialized sections dedicated to flora resistant to high salinity levels inherent to the seaside environment.
The site integrates traditional landscape architecture with the specific topographical constraints of the Giresun coastline.
Giresun Island Botanical Garden, situated in the Gemilerçekeği district, serves as a coastal green space overlooking the Black Sea. The park features manicured walking paths, endemic plant species from the Black Sea region, and structured landscaping intended to highlight local flora. It occupies a strategic position along the Giresun coastline, providing a transition zone between the city center and the shore. The garden functions as a public recreational space designed for observing regional botanical diversity in an outdoor setting.
