Noise pollution has turned out to be one of the most important environmental matters in urban areas. Depending especially on the increase in the number of motor vehicles severity of noise pollution also increases. City parks, where people shelter going away from uncomfortable urban environment are under the pressure of noise pollution, which is larger in city parks established in especially city centres. This study is aimed to determine noise levels in a city park established in Erzurum city centre, Yuzuncuyil Park. It was found in the study that mean noise level was 66.62 dB(A) and 68.75dB(A) in the morning and evening, respectively. These values were determined to exceed 25 dB(A) allowable limit values in Noise Control Regulation. At especially measurement point 5 in the park, noise level in the evening reached up 73.63 dB(A). Differences between noise values were found to be statistically insignificant (p<0.01) in the morning, at noon and in the evening. In addition, some solution proposals are presented in the study to reduce noise levels in the park.
