A green play space in the capital — Gandhinagar's Children's Park, a leafy family park of lawns, rides and play areas in the garden city.
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.
Gandhinagar’s sector plan puts green space within reach of every neighbourhood, and the park works best as families use it — late afternoon onward, when the heat lifts and the play areas fill. Entry is free or nominal, and the capital’s other stops, from Akshardham to the Indroda dinosaur park, sit within a short drive for a fuller day.
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.

Reasons to make the time
Play areas
Play areas and rides make this a children's park in the literal sense, and that is who it is built for.
Lawns & trees
Mature trees give real shade across the lawns, which matters in a city this hot for much of the year.
Family outings
It fills in the evenings and at weekends, when Gandhinagar families come out after the heat drops.
Walking paths
Walking paths run through the grounds and are used steadily by walkers morning and evening.
Green capital
Gandhinagar was planned with sector gardens and parks throughout, and this is one of the better-used of them.
Easygoing
It is an easy, unhurried stop rather than a sight — somewhere to sit for an hour between other things.
