Çoruh Park in Artvin is currently described by visitors as a place of lost potential, suffering from noticeable neglect. While it was once a popular spot for family picnics and communal meals, many reviewers now point out broken benches and a general state of disrepair. Despite these drawbacks, it remains one of the few areas in the city where residents can walk along the riverbank. Some visitors enjoy the occasional traditional folk dance performances held in the evenings. However, practical issues such as difficult parking on narrow roads and a high presence of mosquitoes in the late afternoon are frequently mentioned. Overall, the sentiment is one of disappointment regarding its upkeep, though it still functions as a basic riverside retreat.
