Göğem Zafer Tabiat Parkı covers 150 hectares at the Kusura gorge beside the Göğem pond, about 15 kilometres from Uşak and north of the Uşak–Banaz state road. It was approved on 16 May 2018; its development plan was approved on 30 December 2020 and its site plan on 22 June 2022.
The Directorate lists five assets here, and one of them is not natural: the Victory Monument, alongside the pond, the meadows, and the forest and river ecosystems.
In the wooded part grow oriental plane, kermes oak, Valonia oak, tamarisk, rowan and Christ's thorn. Among the animals recorded are black stork, hare, grey heron and swallows, with a range of other bird species.
Stated capacity is 1,167 visitors and 235 vehicles. There is no public transport to the site; visitors make their own way. Turning north at the Göğem village junction on the Uşak–Banaz road, the last 5.5 kilometres to the park boundary are partly asphalt and partly gravel, and totem signs for the park stand on both sides of the dual carriageway at that junction.
