KüçükÇiftlik Park — Attraction in Şişli

In 2022, attending concerts by Tom Odell and Kaleo provided unforgettable experiences with top-tier views. This summer, I had the opportunity to witness Two Feet and Lana Del Rey perform in London, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the upcoming Ashnikko concert in November.

While Lana Del Rey's Hyde Park concert undeniably offered an unparalleled atmosphere compared to Kucukciftlik Park, I believe that with improved restroom facilities and dining options, Kucukciftlik Park could easily match that level of quality.

For those interested in my concert experiences, you can find videos on my YouTube channel. Simply search for the concerts in order, along with my name, Elif Cansu Cetin, to catch a glimpse of these incredible stage moments.

Last year was truly fantastic, but the insufficiency and often unclean state of the restroom facilities, particularly the cabin-shaped toilets, were notable drawbacks. Since my relocation to London in 2022, I haven't had the chance to return to Kucukciftlik Park. Nevertheless, I still believe it remains the ultimate venue for a concert experience in Istanbul. I especially recommend it to fellow university students – it's an experience everyone should have...

The security were rude, slow and invasive, the toilets were disgusting and there is not any seating. It is a strange concert venue with a lot of beer but not much else. Odd placement of the stage and not very convenient to stand around in for seven hours during the event. It was not like the photos I had seen in other reviews. Only the concert area was open and you were not allowed to go outside or around once you entered. Security took my bag and carelessly dug around in it, throwing away my small bottle of disinfectant. Considering pandemic conditions, this was not very good for public health! We wasted money paying for front stage seats. Everyone was all together and there was a small unsafe metal railing separating the mass of people from the stage front areas that had sold us stage front seats…but it was standing only? The worst was that it was billed at starting at 4pm and 5pm for events, however the acts do not really start then. So you basically stand up -unable to drink anything due to the disgusting shape of the toilets- for 6 hours sitting through a few mediocre performers to get to see the group you come for. Poorly organized and misleading!...

The venue hosts festivals, concerts and open air exhibitions.

I’ve been to Küçükçiftlik Park twice so far. My first visit was for the Istanbul Coffee Fest back in October 2022. The second visit was for the world famous DJ Black Coffee concert recently.

The venue has one downside. It’s the car parking issue(not enough parking space for the huge crowds).

My general view about both of the organizations are very positive. Easy access from the gates if you attend early. Easy payment methods via certain apps, no cash.

Professional sound system, nice concert setting, and enough place to sit when you get tired. Diverse options for fast food, and alcohol.

The showcase booths at the coffee fest were well laid out. Not very packed, enough spacing between the booths. The walk paths are wide enough, easy to stroll around.

Enough toilets, and not so dirty. Housekeepers maintain the WCs well.

Overall rating 4.3/5 for...
