Established in the 1930s as part of the green belts proposed in the urban plan of the rapid growing capital, the park is noted for the Security Monument.
[1] Due to its central location and proximity to a main transport hub, the park serves as a passageway for commuting residents.
[1] Güvenpark is noted for its Security Monument (Turkish: Güvenlik Anıtı), which was proposed by Austrian architect Clemens Holzmeister (1886–1983), who designed public buildings in Ankara.
On one facade of the composition, apart from the main block, two musician figures are placed above Atatürk's famous phrase "Türk, Öğün, Çalış, Güven!"
The reliefs depict Turkish villagers carrying weapons to the front, military paramedic teams in the back front, security forces, artists and thinkers envisaged for the new formation of the Republic and craftsmen in various profession groups such as black smiths, miners, potters.
On the other side of the monument, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is portrayed, flanked by youth and looking into a future with hope.
[1][7] From 2014 on, the Çevik Kuvvet (Rapid Response Forces) of the Turkish Police were stationed inside the park.
