A park is a park is a park, right? Not the Mahendra Park. A sprawling expanse right at the edge of the Arabian Sea, the Harish Mahendra Park has open-air play options that are suited for children of different age groups. Designed for children with aesthetics and the environment in mind, you can’t help admiring every element that has been inserted in this play space. This is one space that makes you feel pleased that you got your kids here.

What strikes one first is the green space for kids and their parents. Every tree has been botanically labeled. Take a walk in the park, if you like to enjoy nature. A life-sized statue of a mermaid stares at the Arabian Sea and its sparkling waters with longing, while you can share seating with a hippo merged in the mud.
