Barajin Forest Park

Contrary to what most people think, Barajin is not just the name of a forest park with recreational facilities, but a special area in the north of Qazvin is called Barajin.
Therefore, stand anywhere in this area, which is from Tehran’s Qazvin Freeway to the western slopes of Alborz, you have gone Barajin! What better way to stop somewhere in this area that will entertain you more.
Barajin Forest Park is one of the recreational places of Barajin region and is very popular among the city people and travelers of Qazvin.
Now we will tell you about this forest park and its facilities.

Barajin Forest Park, the largest forest park in the country, with an area of 1500 hectares, is located in the northeast of Qazvin city. This park in Qazvin is known as Fadak and Barajin.
Address of Barajin Forest Park: Qazvin, at the end of Nakhabgan Blvd., after Qazvin Islamic Azad University, Barajin National Park
Visiting hours: 07:00 to 00:00 in the morning

Barajin Forest Park (which is actually called Bostan Fadak), is a large complex of recreational and welfare facilities, which has a good climate due to its location at a height and its proximity to Qazvin city has made people, from young to old, spend most of their holidays or leisure time there.
So, if you as a traveler like to have fun with the local people of the city and in their way, make your way to Barajin.

Salamat Road, Shahrabazi, Hayat Bayat Village, Bamsan Residence Complex and City Hall are the places where you can spend time in Barajin area when traveling to Qazvin. Of course, you may not have time to experience all of these together in one day, and it is necessary to divide your tour in different days.
We have explained the most popular places for you in detail so that you can choose them more easily.

Qazvinis themselves believe that the Barajin Forest Park is a failed project! The reason for that is the short trees that, after years, due to the city’s weather, have not grown enough to turn the forest park into a real forest park.
Of course, these short trees did not even affect the interest of Qazvinis in their park. Many people of the city gather in the park during the week and weekends for family and friendly gatherings, make barbecue chicken and use the playground and its facilities.
Fadak Park also has many gazebos that make the space for a picnic better and more comfortable.
Good weather, wide space and a beautiful view of the city from above are enough reasons to choose the green space of the park to spend time.

Barajin Forest Park also has a large amusement park where you can find all kinds of games and entertainment. Whether you are a fan of excitement, fear, and risk, or you prefer low-risk games, you will have fun at Dalfak amusement park.
If you are afraid of the amusement park and its equipment and you don’t want to try even the least dangerous equipment and you are worried that you will get bored with your friends, don’t worry at all; Go to games of chance and skill such as bowling and wheel of fortune and throwing a glass with a ball throw and… you will really have fun!
Here, for those who are thrill-seeking and calm and relaxed, they have prepared a spaceship, a free-fall slide, a jump track in the sky, and a carousel.
If you are going to Dalfak with children, there are some good toys for children that will delight them.

Although this place is also known as Qazvin Zoo, it is really an animal village.
It is very different from other zoos. Here domestic and wild animals live together and in peace!
You may not believe some of the scenes you see; For example, a tiger who is having a friendly relationship with a dog. Or a bear that played with donkeys.
The nature village is a large land that accommodates different species of animals and provides a safe environment for them. Here you can give the animals their special food and even touch them in the presence of the manager of the collection.
Nader Reza Nouri, the director of Hayat Tayet Village, is a strange man whose friendly relationship with animals is well known. His support for injured animals has made many of the animals in the nature village actually be animals that have been treated and continue to live here or are endangered species that need more care.
Barajin Nature Village is a good environment to teach children about different animal species.
All in all, I suggest that instead of going to zoos where animals are imprisoned in cages and make them suffer, go see this village and enjoy the good life of the animals.

Although the Barajin Health Road is not much different from the health roads of other cities and parks, it is very popular among Qazvinis.
On average, at least one person from every Qazvini family spends one or two hours a week on the Salamat road. (if not more, not less) Although I asked a few Qazvinis, I did not find a specific result for the reason for this popularity, and apparently Qazvinis themselves are people who like sports and health.
Salamat Road is a pedestrian route that starts from Barajin Azad University, i.e. next to the highway, and continues to the entrance of the forest park. Here, like the rest of the health roads you have seen in the parks, it has a space for walking and running, and simple sports equipment has been placed next to it. It also has a bicycle path and a bicycle rental station, which is useful if you are a cyclist.

In general, if you are into sports and health, you will love Barajin more! Because wherever you go, you can do a sports activity; First of all, it is the city hall that makes your voice.
The city hall was built before the beginning of the forest park and in front of Barajin University and has a swimming pool, billiards, bowling and a gym.
After the city hall, Barajin is popular for its motorcycle and off-road tracks. Especially on weekends, many people come to Barajin to ride motorbikes and off-road, and many people come to the track just to watch them.
Barajin also has a paragliding station where you can go for training and paragliding.
There is also a restaurant here where you can relax and eat good food after doing some activities.

Well, I think that you are tired of traveling and you need to take a nap.
Ask anyone in the same park, they will show you the row of Barajin coffee houses; Cafes and canteens are near Imamzade Ismail Barajin and most of the younger people gather there. If you are looking for a coffee shop hoping for hookah, don’t look for it in Qazvin and Barajin. Hookah is completely prohibited in Qazvin and it is not served in these coffee houses either.
They have recently built a residence complex called Bamsan in Barajin, whose restaurant serves both Iranian and foreign food. It has tables and chairs both inside and outside with beautiful natural views.
Of course, Bamsan is more famous for its accommodation huts that are rented out daily. But his restaurant is also popular among Barajingards.
The town hall complex, which you read about earlier, has restaurants and coffee shops that are especially suitable for family and friendly gatherings.
You can find a series of mobile cafes around Barajin where you can get tea and coffee. If you happen to pass by Barajin late and no cafe or restaurant is open, you will definitely see one of these mobile cafes on your way that are still open. The good thing about these cafes is that you can enjoy your drink facing the view of the city.
