Located on the Delhi Ridge between Karol Bagh and Dhaula Kuan, access is limited to private vehicles, autism, cabs etc. I did see a couple of buses passing by,but they don't stop anywhere near this Park. The place is without doubt, green and beautiful with seasonal flowers adding colour to the park. The park occupies a large area. There is a 'Bodhi Tree' and a Lord Buddha idol. There are some water bodies with some water fowl, and colourful flowers . Entry is free, but since it is a difficult spot to reach, families are few and probably visit on weekends. Most of the time one is likely to stumble upon a courting couple in different stages of intimacy.

Beautiful place.. A stroll here awakens all your senses.. The flowers, chirping of birds, the trees, the sound of twigs breaking at your footsteps -- it helps you connect with mother nature. Well maintained.. There is a very nice cafe near Gate number 2 - Garden Cafeteria. The walk will get you hungry..
