Ab-o-Atash Park, meaning 'Water and Fire Park', is a unique urban green space along the Farahzad River. Its name comes from the interplay of water features, like stepped waterfalls and fountains, with fire-themed sculptures and braziers that are lit at night. Visitors can stroll along the riverbank, cross footbridges, and enjoy the contrast of flowing water and flickering flames. The park also offers views of Tabiat Bridge nearby.
