History

The park was formerly known as Pomegranate Garden (باغ اناری), and was renamed as part of an effort to rejuvenate its image, as it had attracted illicit drug use.[1]

The park was bombed by Israel during the 2026 Iran War.[2] Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft speculated that the park was chosen as a target by artificial intelligence due to its name, without any subsequent human oversight to realise that it was not a piece of police infrastructure.[2]
