Guide
Sultandağı Tabiat Parkı covers 97 hectares at the Kurtini locality in the Sultandağı district of Afyonkarahisar and was declared on 6 April 2020 for its natural assets and recreational potential. It lies within the district centre, between the town and the Kırca neighbourhood, with a stated capacity of 1,600 visitors.
The plants recorded around the park are black pine, prickly juniper and oak, together with herbs and flowers the Directorate lists by their local names — among them rock rose, wild celery and wormwood. The animals identified are wild boar, fox, hare and jackal.
One thing the Directorate's page records under facilities is not a facility but a permit: 28,568.16 square metres of forest land inside the park was granted to the Ministry of Youth and Sports in March 2021, free of charge and for 49 years, for the construction of a sports facility. What stands there now is not stated. The park's own purpose is given as meeting the local need for picnic and recreation ground while using day visits to make natural resources known and build conservation awareness.
Sultandağı lies 70 kilometres south-east of Afyonkarahisar on the Afyonkarahisar–Akşehir–Konya road. Leaving the D-300 onto İstasyon Caddesi towards the town centre, continue 1.2 kilometres, then 260 metres along Kocatepe Caddesi and 960 metres along Tutlu Sokak, which ends at the park.
