Tishreen Park

Tishreen Park circa 2017

Tishreen Park is the largest park in Damascus, Syria.[1] It is located near Umayyad Square and Tishreen Palace.[2][3]

A large 110-meter high Syrian flagpole was installed in the park in July 2010 to mark the tenth anniversary of Bashar Al Assad becoming president.[4]

The park hosts the annual Damascus International Flower Show, which at its peak before the war would be visited by hundreds of thousands of people per year.[5][6][7]

A new Syrian flag was raised on 110-meter flagpole in 2025[8]. As of December 2025, it is the 26th tallest flagpole in the world.
