Here, joggers feel safe and enjoy their walk

Spread across several acres in the heart of Magarpatta Township is Aditi Garden. It is easily accessible and has eight entry and exit points. As soon as we entered the garden, the sound of instrumental music and chirping birds greeted us.

Besides the regular joggers, we saw that a lot of office-goers came for a brisk walk before starting their day at work. The temple of Lord Ganesha in the middle of the garden also saw many visitors. Joggers said that the best feature was the variety in jogging areas - some tracks were filled with sand and a track of wild grass. The garden has added attractions like a pond and a designated ‘mud’ ground where sportsmen play sports like badminton and throw ball. The park has no entry fee and no charges for parking besides round-the-clock security. The garden also has an amphitheatre.
