Moreover, the park features expansive green lawns, yoga and meditation zones, lively children’s play areas, and designated fitness facilities catering to senior citizens and People of Determination, promoting inclusivity for everyone.

At the heart of the park is a newly established café with a chilled outdoor terrace and an elevated viewpoint offering stunning views of the tree canopy. Additionally, food trucks and water fountains are strategically placed throughout the space to ensure visitor comfort and ease.
