Overview
The sister park was created to commemorate the sister city relationship between Seoul and Ankara, Turkey, themed around Turkish traditions, and opened in May 1977. The Ankara House within the park is a two-story building in the style of a traditional Ankara vineyard house, constructed in 1992 and opened as a folk exhibition hall in 1995. Inside, traditional Turkish living spaces are recreated, displaying over 800 folk artifacts including traditional Ottoman-era costumes and handicrafts. The first floor houses a prayer room, living room, and kitchen, while the second floor includes a reception room, guest rooms, and bedrooms, allowing visitors to experience Turkish residential culture. Benches installed throughout the park are popular resting spaces for urban office workers.
