The best spot for a run in central Bursa is along the paths through Reşat Oyal Culture Park and other nearby parks. Reşat Oyal Culture Park features walking paths, a boating pond, and a mosque. Starting from the Kültürpark metro station, run on the 1.5 km path south through the park, where there’s a running track next to the sport hall. Then head north along the main road, running through Merinos Park and then crossing the D200 into Merinos Kültür Park. This large park features paths and a small lake. A loop is ~ 1 km. Complete the route by heading west of the park around the Convention Center complex, and a short section on a sidewalk along the D200.
Add-On: Combine with our ‘runseeing’ tour, which is 1 km east, using Altıparmak Cd.

A lovely oasis for a run in the north part of Bursa, with 3-4 km of paths through a pleasantly landscaped botanical garden. There's a large variety of trees and plants.
Hüdavendigar Park, located in the western part of Bursa, features paths around gardens, athletic fields, and on both sides of a river. One can put together a run of 6 km if combined with the waterfront Mihraplı Park.
370-acre hilltop park 10 km west of Bursa is a good spot for some hilly, shaded running. There's 3.5 km of parquet road, 6.5 km of walking/bicycle paths, and narrower hiking trails. One can run to the summit or drive to the top and run from there.
Beautiful national park located 36 km from Bursa. Wonderful trail running options, from forested trails to trails above treeline passing through alpine meadows and glacial lakes, to some steeper climbs. The park is very snowy in winter and is a major ski resort.
