Since ages, human moods of leisure, pleasure, recreation, exercise and enjoyment have been linked to venting their energies, excitement and enthusiasm out in the open. But as urbanisation encroached upon this space, the need to confine these activities to an area was felt and thus the number of parks in the city began to increase. But this idea further provided a chance to focus on the recreational activities and thus it became a perfect place today for children to play, health conscious crowds to have a good walk and all the grannys and grandpas to add spoonful of happiness, enthusiasm and freshness in their own lives!!!

Nashik is known to be the city of parks, thanks to the large number of parks the city has for its citizens. Whether it is a small fenced area with a few swings and see¬saws, or bigger, greener and better devel- oped parks with benches to relax; and gradually well-equipped, well-landscaped ones with loads of new toys, jogging tracks, greenery, all kinds of colourful flora and a breeze of fresh air!!

The parks served as the best alternative for the kids to come together, hop, exert and play thus inspiring the values of community living as well as for sportsmanship. Big and prominent parks including Ramdas Park, Kulkarni Garden, Nehru Garden, Pramod Mahajan Udyan (relatively new one) and Somani Garden near Muktidham to name a few have seen generations playing here.
