Deer
Park
It
is not just another park in the city with trees
spread around. Rather it is a natural jungle amidst
the Delhi's concrete jungle. As one enters the Deer
Park one is transported into an environment abundant
in natural bounty. One can feel change in the air.
The distinct aspect about the park is that the greenery
is allowed to grow freely. The trees and the plants
are not manned; they are allowed to grow wildly.
It is the wilderness of the place that segregates
it from rest of the parks. Further into the park one
gets enveloped into a cluster of trees and bushes.
The cluster of trees is so dense that sunlight can
hardly penetrate. As one walks through the park one
can feel the fresh breeze caress the face. It is the
perfect place for nature lovers.
The
place is abundant with various varieties of birds.
In fact one can observe various migratory birds.
Enjoy the chirping of the birds and watch them do
various things. Right in the middle of the park, surrounded
by trees, is a small pond. There are benches surrounding
the pond where one can sit and admire the flawless
beauty of nature. You can see ducks playing
with each other, fighting with each other and yet
all of them live in harmony with one another. Perhaps
they make man realise that he has degenerated so much
by fighting on petty things.
Besides
ducks there is a massive enclosure for the dainty
deer. One can watch them performing various
antics and admire their shy behaviour. As greenery
is allowed to grow there is no problem of food and
intervention of any sort.
The park is a walker's paradise. For the walkers
there are well laid out tracks. With all the wild
bushes surrounding you, one gets a feeling of being
in a remote jungle. One of the advantages of the park
is that it can be visited at any time of the day as
it never gets hot here. The greenery always keep the
environment soothing and cool even in the hot summer.
Also
there are many exercise equipments like parallel bars,
calisthenics exercises fixed at various corners of
the park. So any time one feels like getting away
from the city, one can go to the Deer Park and relax
in the arms of nature.
