Pro Tips
- 1.Visit early morning (6-8am) when locals do their morning walks and the air is freshest, avoiding Delhi's afternoon heat and crowds.
- 2.Bring a picnic blanket and snacks from nearby Connaught Place bakeries, as the park itself has limited food vendors.

- 4.The metro station below makes this extremely accessible. Take the Yellow or Blue Line to Rajiv Chowk station and use the Connaught Place exit.

Best Time to Visit
October through March during the cooler months, ideally early morning (7-9am) or late afternoon (4-6pm) to avoid midday heat. Weekday mornings are less crowded than weekends when locals flock here for family time.
What to Know
This is a free public space with no admission fee. Public restrooms are limited, so plan bathroom breaks at nearby shopping centers in Connaught Place. The area is well-connected by Delhi Metro, making it easily accessible without dealing with traffic.
Seasonal Notes
Best enjoyed during cooler months (October to March). Summer months (April to June) can be extremely hot and uncomfortable for children. Monsoon season (July to September) may make the grass muddy and paths slippery. The park remains open year-round but comfort levels vary significantly by season.
Nearby Eats
Connaught Place surrounds the park with numerous options. Try Kake Da Hotel for child-friendly North Indian dishes (butter naan is always a hit), or Wenger's Bakery for familiar pastries and sandwiches that picky eaters will enjoy.
