lovely park but could be utilized in much better way. As of now its only a place for local families to pass their sundays. Should be open to artistic activities.

We had a stop every day at noon to hide away from the sun and get some shade.The park is well maintained and clean.Popular with the locals.

We walked through a few times, as the park was a block from our hotel. Very convenient to sit and relax in the shade-- and just watch people. At night there are quite a few lights/decorations---- fun to see. Keep expectations low--- but still nice for a rest or little stroll. entrances are only on east and west gates----other gates seem to be closed.

Nothing much to explore here...A decent enough place if you want to take a stroll in the garden..sit and relax..

The place has scope. It is certainly better than many of the gardens we see around India. It is maintained much better compared to Indian standards. Yet there is something left wanting. It may be because of the noisy local crowd that was there when we went. The play area needs maintenance. But a quite hour in the evening could be spent here.

little vegetation, very dry and dirty and very small. I was told that locals spent a lot of time in it but for me it had nothing relaxing or enjoyable to see

This lovely, peaceful park is named after Subramanya Bharati who was a Tamil Poet / Patriot. He was a fugitive from British India and arrived in Pondicherry in 1908. It is centrally located in the French Quarter, surrounded by the Heritage buildings from the French Era. It is very near the Promenade. People enjoy walks along the walkways which are lit up at night with the original antique lamp posts.Its lush green trees provide much needed shade in the summer to protect visitors from the heat. There is a beautiful Aayi Mandpam in the middle of the park, carved pillars and stone carvings of different Gods and Goddesses.

The park is good place to visit and enjoy the sorrundings. However the kid's sections had broken equipments and felt unkept.

Pretty nice place, good breathing place in the town, lot of greenery, surrounded by Raj Bhavan, library, beach across the road...all makes it a good evening sojourn .

Visited last week with family and children in the evening. Very nice greenery and really liked the antique lamp posts and walkways.Located right opposite the Raj Bhavan (Governor Residence) and also from Gandhi statue. It is filled with history and I wish the authorities take the effort to provide information on its history, especially a translation of the French written on the monument. The monument itself is badly in need of proper maintenance. I did not like the sight of an empty beer bottle in the centre of the monument ( different matter that it is barricaded and we cannot enter to admire the central area). The focus lights are damaged etc. So, while there is so much being done in the Heritage town I really hope INTACH and concerned authorities please do the needful for this park.

A well designed circular park with multiple entry and exit points. Nice aesthetics. People come in for walks and badminton games.

The park is well laid with lot of fun activity for Kids, and pathway for adults to take a stroll. It is decently maintained. Well placed next to Pondicherry Museum and Legislative Assembly. The weather was very pleasant. I didn't see any Urinals though.

Normal park like any where in India, well maintained and used by morning and evening walkers, nice location and nothing special to visit if you a traveller to pondy.

Well maintained park with a walking trail through its circumference. Early mornings are good. Other than that its overcrowded most of the time.
