ABOUT THE PLACE

A family green space

True to Gandhinagar’s identity as one of India’s greenest capitals, the city has several well-kept gardens and parks, among them the popular Children’s Park — a leafy, family-friendly green space with lawns, shady trees, walking paths, play areas and rides for children.

A favourite for evening outings and weekend family time, it offers a relaxed, recreational counterpoint to the capital’s civic monuments, with space for kids to play and adults to stroll. Together with Sarita Udyan, Punit Van and the city’s many sector gardens, it reflects Gandhinagar’s planned abundance of greenery.

For families visiting the capital, the Children’s Park is a pleasant, easygoing stop. A public park, freely accessible.
