Ab-o-Atash Park (Persian: پارکِ آب و آتش, Pārk-e Āb-o-Ātaš), literally the "Water-and-Fire Park", also known as the Ebrahim Park (Persian: پارکِ ابراهیم, Pārk-e Ebrāhim), is a park in northern Tehran, Iran. With an area over 24000m2, the park was opened on June 27, 2009 by the 55th Mayor of Tehran, Mohammad Baqer Galibaf.[1]
The park has an exclusive area designed for water-playing. There is also an amphitheater in the park.
On July 29, 2011, a water fight event organized by Facebook was held at the park. It ended with the arrest of 10 participants who were accused of "unacceptable behavior."[2]
