In June 2013 Kuğulu's waterfowl (35 birds) were evacuated temporarily to protect them from tear gas exposure during the 2013 Turkish protests. The park was a major meeting point for protestors,^[1] and saw a Taksim Gezi Park-style encampment.^[3]

The City of Vienna gave the park a gift of swans.^[4]
