A Public Park in Noida

Noida has fairly good infrastructure at several spots. Below pictures are from a public park in Noida which is free for all without any entry fee. Children from nearby areas go there to play all day long. Walls have encroach-able breakages at several places but surprisingly no one seems to live inside it, except perhaps the toilet inside it which is over-used and hence stinks. There is one security guard at one of the gates who of course is inadequate and hence appears to have accepted his face. He makes a few rounds whenever he feels like or if he needs something; otherwise he sits at a chair grandly. In old days some zamindars and nobles must be enjoying what he enjoys at his workplace. 

The park also has an open gym which you can spot in above pictures. Found it surprisingly nice.

The park is so big that children have no fears of getting overheard by their parents in the neighboring houses. Some kids ride bicycles in it while some play various games. Some kids just sit there and have a chat – in an old-world offline way.

Pretty amazing. 

And I have visited it only once. The pictures and memories are from the single visit. Sigh - time to visit again it seems. 

See you.
