★★★★★Featured review by Raghav Abbhi

Very nice playground in the middle of the park. Entry to the park is from various nearby streets and easily accessible by car or walking. The walkways are well maintained and clean. Public toilet is available on the entry from the Moore Street entry. The playground is well maintained and large. Various rides and a small book shelf is available. A section of the park has been curated to contain toys and a fun trail for children which makes it very interesting. Highly recommended for half a day's picnic with children or a short walk on the walkways.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A spacious, genuinely quiet playground with more to discover than first appears — the fairy houses delight younger children and the trail loop gives parents somewhere to walk.

This playground is a fun and safe place for kids. It has swings, slides, and cool things to climb. There are trees, trails, and even places for butterflies. The park is clean and has shade to keep you cool. It is a great spot for families to play and relax...
