The park is famous for its lush green lawns, a large artificial lake with boating facilities, and beautifully landscaped flower beds. The central attraction is the open-air amphitheatre where Ramlila performances are held during festivals. There are also several statues and murals depicting scenes from the Ramayana, which are great for photos and storytelling.
Yes, clean public restrooms and drinking water stations are available near the main entrance and near the boating area. There are a few small kiosks selling tea, snacks, and ice cream, but options are limited—so it’s better to carry your own water and light snacks. For a full meal, you’ll need to walk to nearby restaurants or street food vendors outside the park gates.
The entry fee is nominal, around 10 to 20 rupees per person, and it is free for children under 5 and senior citizens (with ID) on certain days. The park is open daily from 6 AM to 8 PM, but the ticket counter closes 30 minutes before sunset. It’s advisable to carry cash, as card payments may not be accepted at the gate.
Early mornings (around 6 to 8 AM) are ideal, as the park is cooler, less crowded, and perfect for a peaceful stroll. Evenings after 5 PM are also pleasant, but weekends can get busy with local families. Avoid midday hours, especially from April to June, when temperatures soar.
Yes, the park has wide, paved walking paths that are mostly flat, making it accessible for wheelchairs and walkers. Benches are placed at regular intervals for rest, and the main entry points have ramps. However, some inner garden areas have uneven gravel, so it’s best to stick to the main pathways.
