  1. Since 2015 my team Swim Yoga is practicing Ashtang Yoga as described and prescribed by Maharshi Patanjali 200 years BC, at this park, since then the Garden authority has taken required initiatives to beautify this park. Initially we had some problem from the druggist who used to take entry from the broken wall of the adjoining railways tracks to the park. Yes, I proud to write the glory of this park, since then we are celebrating in a grand way, the International Yoga day, Our Independent day as well as Republic day. its a park for the different strata of the society, like students they have an artistically done place to study, as well as Sernior citizens and children they are happy enahcing their energies and strenth. I am sure garden authorities will make this park and the boudaries of this park is not that vide in comparision to the Maharastra Nature Center, but sure this will be a next tourist center too.

  2. now the park beauty is destroyed by vandalizing the trees in the name of trimming. If anybody visit the park he will be shocked by the atrocity on the trees.
