Al-Zawraa Park or Al-Zawraa Garden is a public park located in Baghdad, Iraq.[1] Established in the early 1970s, the 3-square kilometer area was previously an army camp until it was converted into a park. It contains an amusement park and a tower. It also includes a zoo, which was severely damaged during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[2] The park also hosts Iraq's International Flower Festival.[3]
