Creating healthy and safe recreational environment for women across the city is on the agenda of the Tehran Municipality, said Narges Madanipour, director general of Women’s Affairs Department at the TM.
There are three women’s parks already, including Behesht-e-Madaran Park in district 3, Narges Park in district 18 and Pardis-e-Banovan Park in district 15. Two new women’s parks in Chitgar and Lavizan forest parks are under construction.
