All the plants are watered regularly and so you see the evergreen garden blooming and blossoming. Play Park : There is a small play park for children here. Children below 10 years can play here. You can see different types of slides and swings in the play park. Children love this part of the park most. Fountain : Ahead of the play park you see the beautiful fountain. You can see the dancing water of the fountain in the evening. As far as the construction of the fountain is concerned it’s a beautiful work.

Things to Buy

  • Pune has a whole world of offerings when it come to beautiful goodies. You will love to shop for stunning local handicrafts, antique items like gramophone records or rare coins, exquisite leather items, comfy Kolhapuri Chappals, trendy fashion accessories, stylish footwear, designer dresses, Chiwda (rice flakes) and slippers made from rubber. Be sure to bargain for your favorite stuff as the local vendors tend to overcharge for the tourists.

Things to Eat

  • Aloo paratha at Chaitanya : One of the earliest parathas to make a name for itself, the aloo paratha at Chaitanya continues to remain a favourite in spite of growing competition. From college-goers to working professionals and from couples to families, the aloo paratha is a classic that caters to everyone. Mysore Cheese Masala Dosa at Vaishali : The Mysore cheese masala dosa is probably the highest selling item on the menu of the extremely popular food joint, Vaishali. There are numerous Udipi restaurants around Pune, many of which are quite popular. But nothing comes close to the monopoly that is Vaisha. Chicken Shawarma at Hite Bar : Juicy chicken cooked in Lebanese style and garnished with a house salad and a bunch of unique sauces is wrapped in a roll made from pita bread – the shawarma at Hite Bar is Lebanese in tradition and delicious in taste. The dish is known to be the best of its kind in the city, and attracts long queues of crowds without pause to every branch of the restaurant, right until closing hour. Quite filling, and not too expensive, it works as a great evening snack or even as a part of dinner.

Things to enjoy

  • As you enter in and see around, you are sure that you are going to enjoy being in the park.

They should not pluck the flowers and the leaves of the plants. Keeping the place clean is the minimum expectation from the visitors.
