Traveler reviews
Amy Zgraggen
★★★★★a year agoSuper fun park with the large towers and all different slides (big and small) and a cool ‘boat’ and a really tall fireman pole. Lots of bridges and rope ladders. Several swings and baby swings. Next to a large park with trees and benches. One section with little steps and a little slide. Really fun!

★★★★★a year agoWell shaded park, so it's quite cool even in summer. Plenty of benches with tables around. Toilet/ wc available. Covered parking garage right beside it. Has a wading pool for small kids in summer You could pick up your (Indian) lunch/food and drinks from Agarwals shop which is close by. Towards evening, you might not like the quality of crowd here, which is why there is often a police car patrolling the park
