The space has several seating pockets and shaded sit-outs with pergolas, encouraging socialising. The park has a
series of trees planted on its periphery and large shade-giving trees near seating. The plants used are hardy,
suitable for the climate, and require less water. The design also has a kund which acts as a small amphitheater for
events. An ambient lighting scheme ensures that the space is well-lit and attractive in the evening hours. Since the
park has been opened to the public, it has received a tremendous response from all sections of society and age
groups.
It is being used in multiple ways. It becomes a walking space in the morning hours, a pause point and sitting space in
the afternoon for youngsters, and a play and meeting space for children, women, the elderly, and others in the
evening hours. The kund is also being used for small performances, celebrations, and events by the locals.
