Parks in Bangalore

The thing i love best about Bangalore (other than the pampering at home) is the parks. There are so many of them, and many of them are very child friendly parks. Just outside our house is a small park- won't be more than 50 ft by 100 ft but it has a walking path, a gazebo for people to sit, as well as small benches around the walking path, and a children's playground with slides, swings, monkey bars, climbing bars, roundabout- sitting and standing. Very convenient- i can just walk out of the house with S without bothering with getting an auto, carryign a wallet/mobile etc and the walk is just about 2-3 mins. Have taken A once as well, with my mom walking her around in the pram, while i played with S in the park. Also the children's play area has a library where children can go and read books, and play with toys there. S spends at least 10 mins there whenever i take her to that park.

Another park we go to frequently is KrishnaRao park. Its about a 10-15 mins drive from my place so it takes more planning and effort to get there. I usually take A also when i go there and my mom and dad walk her around the park in the pram while i take S to the playground section. The playground is amazing- there is a section for handicapped children which is accesbile by wheelchair and has riniging bells, beads to play, tubular bells and other assorted play things. There are many slides, see saws, swings- bucket for smaller kids, flat bench typefor older kids and two tyres to swing from for much older kids (i put S on that once and she was too scared to swing on it, maybe after a year), tunnels of tyres and of wire mesh, land roundabouts and air roundabouts, and this is all one section for older kids and there's another section for younger kids with similar stuff but smaller size. Wonderful. And its not even very crowded. The park itself is wonderful to walk around in, with huge trees, large ground where people are playing cricket etc. As against Bombay they dont charge for people using the parks in Bangalore, and still the crowd is relatively less (maybe because there are so many more neighbourhood parks with each park having a kids play area that people dont have to all throng to one park).
I still have to explore Lalbagh and Cubbon park and will update after seeing those!
