Sunset at Ambazari Lake

Discovered two lakes in a single day. One was Ambazari, which has a decent garden built on one of its shores, and a play area which even has a large Pirates' rocking boat, the kind of thing one has seen in Disneyland abroad. Not bad, for a park run by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation. The sunset view from this park is fantastic, and there is a musical fountain which even without music, is impressive when it is on.

But the walkway on the bund outside the park is not very well maintained, and could do with a little more of cleanliness and upkeep. Many interesting tree and flower species can be found in the park and outside.

The other lake, Phutala, or Telangkhedi, is done up a lot better with some exotic food stalls to keep people occupied while they enjoy the lake view. Good for an evening's outing, particularly in the 'warmth' that will soon envelop Nagpur in the next two months or more.

Makes me wonder why many more of such public spaces cannot be created wherever residential layouts are present. Simple, functional ones should not be too expensive, and can be funded through a small user fee too.
