Super impressed at my first visit... (Haven't explored this place fully yet!)

???? Would be an awesome place to start and end your day with family, friends or just by yourself relaxing and enjoying nature.

????u200d♂️ Wide and long walk path (few paths at the rear are narrow)
???? Birdwatchers and photographers paradise.
???? There are a lot of native trees with their names mentioned.
⛱️ They do have benches and few shades to sit and enjoy the environment.

⌚ 6:30am - 6pm
???? You can park vehicles outside along the park's compound walls.(at your own risk)
???? No entry or registration fee.
????u200d???? Wheel chair accessible entry

???? Wish this place be maintained well and further improvised.

One of the most cleanest park maintained by Government. It’s not so often you would find such a tidy park. The path on the sideways of the park is great place to walk and sit and chit-chat. The path in the middle of the park towards the marsh land is a great place to see the birds. Also, kudos to the forest department. They have planted all indigenous trees and it was very nice to see them flourishing in full greenery.

While the park is great, some of the visitors are very stupid and careless. They bring in lots of plastic stuffs like chips packet and small cool drinks bottle and they throw it then and there and leave. They have absolute zero regards for the cleanliness which is being maintained. There are several “love birds” and couples who come here just to spend time “alone” and throw all the stuffs there. I literally saw some people taking such stuffs into the park.
I hope the government collects minimum entrance fees(it’s free right now) that way love birds who come to spend time with each other are reduced and the genuine nature lovers and bird watchers are allowed. I also hope government starts disallowing plastics inside the premises.
I even complained the same to the supervisor and he said no matter what is done, its the basic sense of the visitors to keep the park tidy.
Hope the visitors don’t dump their garbages and create another dump nearby in the name of visiting this awesome place and ruin the nature.

Visited this place with family in the evening. A must visit place, the area is so serene and beautiful. Get to see a variety of birds and insect that thrive in this landscape.
The park has a nice and wide path for jogging/ walking. Can spend a good 2 hours breathing some fresh air and indulging in nature.
