The park is situated on the alluvial plains of the Yeşilırmak Delta, one of the most fertile agricultural regions in Turkey.
The name 'Adapark' stems from the Turkish word 'ada' (island), referencing the park's proximity to the river's riparian zones.
The Yeşilırmak River, which borders the park, is one of the longest rivers in Turkey, flowing through northern Anatolia before reaching the Black Sea.
The park design incorporates flood-mitigation landscaping necessary for its location along the riverbank.
Adapark is a prominent recreational space located along the banks of the Yeşilırmak River in the Çarşamba district of Samsun, Türkiye.

It serves as a central hub for outdoor activities, including family picnics and evening strolls by the riverfront. The grounds are integrated with urban infrastructure, offering a blend of natural views and accessible leisure amenities. The park is characterized by its riverside positioning, which dictates its layout and provides a cooling effect during warmer months. It is widely frequented by local residents for weekend outings and daily exercise.
