Alavi Park

A couple of weeks ago, before it became cold here, we went to a lovely park near Qom. It is called Alavi Park. Its family atmosphere and well-maintained large grounds created a very happy experience! Families sat on picnic blankets and ate, flew kites, and rollerbladed. Young fresh-faced couples sat together under elegant trees and flowers, others walked and talked, while still others used the many grills to cook up some yummy smelling BBQ. Babies crawled on the clean ground.

Full of so many families enjoying a sunny day at the park, it did not feel crowded at all. I did not take any photographs of the people because I did not want to invade their privacy. Instead, here are some shots I took of the scenery, full of various trees, plants, and flowers. 

Here are a few maps to demonstrate the park's location in Iran

A few rides in the distance

If you’re ever in the area, I definitely recommend this peaceful spot. (And I know this is a terribly anti-American thing to say, but it was nice to be in a public park without dogs drooling, panting, sniffing, and relieving themselves all over the place). 

And here are two videos from that day. The first is the drive there, and the second is us strolling through the park:

Thanks for reading and keeping in touch.
