Children's Park, India Gate, New Delhi

I have been wondering for long about the places we take our family for outing in Delhi. Particularly when its question for kids outing, they don't like visiting busy markets like Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Cannaught Place, Khan Market, Karol Bagh etc. So I decided to explore the places for short outing and where we get playful and healthy atmosphere.

I started with Children's Park which is located in campus of India Gate. 
I get up at 5 A.M. morning and reached their with my daughter Sheeza. at 5:40 AM.
I know this is early morning hour, but my daughter is fond of morning walk and play as I am :).
At Gate No. 1 entrance their is notice board about the timings and caution while in the park. 

Park timings : 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM in summer and 5:30 PM in winters.Park is closed on Monday.
Entry : Free for All
Key Attraction : Swings, Seasaws, Slides, Kids Playware, Climbing frames, Rockers, Wheels, Playcenters, Slide climbers, Activity gym, Wavy slides, Tyre swings, Bridge Climb and a beutiful landscape garden.

But thanks for DDA that they keep it open for joggers and morning walkers in early morning hours as well.

In seconds after entering the park Sheeza cried wow lot of swings. And to my surprise there were lot of swings free. I did not count but I guess there are more than 2 dozen rope swings.
They are good and strong, as I saw many parents also enjoying it :)
(I personally request grown ups not to use swings and play wares in Children's Park as they are meant for kids and we should keep these in good condition for youngsters.)

I like Children's Park, India Gate because it has half dozen play-sets, which can be used by more than 100 kids at a time. These play-sets are multiple activity sets which includes wavy sliders, climbers, rockers, swings in each sets. So kids keep on playing and running up and down. Sheeza enjoy these a lot.




Here is couple of more play centers in Children's Park, India G
This children park is having many climbing option, which fills kids with confidence along with strong hands.
It's good place for people who like to have some fun time with green landscapes. I personally like this in morning. But any time is okay as there are many big tree in this park and we stay cool inside. The park is having toilet complex as well for gents and ladies. Children's Park, India Gate is something we keep on top of the list when we plan for half day outing along with kids. Here some beutiful landscape pics of Children's Park.
