Kocaeli Province (Turkish: Kocaeli ili, pronounced [kodʒaˈeli]) is a province of Turkey and one of only two to not have the same official name as its capital, İzmit, which is thus also sometimes called Kocaeli.

The province is located at the easternmost end of the Marmara Sea around the Gulf of İzmit.

The metropolitan area of Istanbul extends to the Kocaeli-Istanbul provincial border. The size and natural conditions of the Bay of İzmit allow for extensive port facilities, including the Gölcük Naval Base. The province is called the industrial capital of Turkey. Kocaeli has an airport named Cengiz Topel Naval Air Station which is used for military and civilian transport. Kocaeli has two universities: Kocaeli University and Gebze Technical University.

Those kind of parks should be everywhere where people especially with children should go and spend time there.Lovely horses,deers and many wild and farm animals are all around so that children have great time by looking and touching and spending great time with them.We also had a picnic.
