Rocked with sanctions, Iranians are having to seek out domestic options for entertainment, on is O Park, water park in Tehran.
"We have many crises in our country, so such places provide relief for our minds. Not everyone can come here due to prices. Coming here is much cheaper than visiting another country," said Hamid Bayat.
Tehran's citizens come in the summer to cool off and entertain. Temperatures can reach into the upper 30 degrees Celsius.
The entrance fee is 850,000 Iranian rials ($8) which is considered expensive for some in tough economic times.
Its manager says that their systems are in line with international standards.
"Our summer campaign slogan is, ‘Let’s visit outside from the heart of Tehran.’ We have settled on this due to the situation of our country and currency. We want to tell people that there is a place in the center of Tehran where we can entertain," said Mohammed Hussein, the manager of O Park.
Staff says a section of the park will soon be open for women.
