Habibullah Zazai Park (Dari: پارک حبیب الله زازی; Pashto: د حبيب الله ځاځي پارک), also known simply as Zazai Park, is an amusement park and a recreation area in the eastern part of Kabul, Afghanistan.[1] It is near the Sayed Jamaluddin Afghan Township, which is east of Bagrami and south of Ahmad Shah Baba Mina.
The amusement park is named after Habibullah Zazai, its owner and developer.[2][3] The two "z" letters in Zazai are correctly pronounced the same like in the given name of Hollywood star, Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Zazai park has various rides and provides large walking space with great views of the city.[4] Among the rides, the Ferris wheel, pirate ship and swing ride are the popular ones. The park also has a mosque, an indoor arcade, and places to lounge and eat food.
