Children's Park

In North Goa there is a beautiful garden “Children’s Park” looked after by forest department. It’s a quite place where you can listen to melodious chirpings of birds and the mild air rushing through hush trees. A walk here in the morning fresh air is lovely and refreshing. And in the evening it’s a vision of ecstasy to listen to the cry, laughter, joy and happiness spread everywhere by innocent kids.

This place holds some of my sweetest childhood memories. I always raced with my sister by running down stairs and crossing small bridge to reach swings and other games in play zone before her. And one crazy thing I started was to walk up the slide and then come down sliding, instead of climbing the ladder. :P

You can also take a small ride on paddle boat to the length of the garden. And watch the entire garden in a panoramic view.

It’s all about greenery when you look at this place. The garden is well maintained by a staff of gardeners, who work hard to make your trip here splendid one. Trees grow here in lush green colour plus bushes are trimmed to perfect round shape and green grass adds to its total beauty.

Mandovi Shore touches this garden and from here  you can see Kala Academy Jetty. And you can see Reis Magos Fort on the other side of the shore.

On one side there is Nursery Garden, and the other there is an Art Park. This Nursery Garden is a home for different plants. They have poly bag seedlings kept for sale. And on the other side of this park there is an Art Park a walk from here can take you to woods.

Along the roadside of this garden you can try some yummy veg. delicacies in ‘For rest' -veg. food court. And also a drink of sweet sugarcane juice too after having a good time in garden.

In the month of November a major event is held here, ‘International Film Festival of India’. It’s a spectacular view at night when this place is lit up. There are many stalls lined up along the roadside area of this garden. You can taste some mouth watering foods like spicy Gobi Manchurian, chicken lollipop to sweet cotton candy and much more. There are stalls by Self Help groups from where you can taste homemade foods and buy variety of handicrafts. Besides this there are giant rides that you can enjoy in the evening time and also some latest films are screened in Kingfisher Village.

“This place is joie de vivre”
