Located
in
Gurgaon’s
Sector
52-A,
Tau
Devi
Lal
Biodiversity
and
Botanical
Park
is
one
of
the
few
big,
popular
and
well-maintained
parks
of
the
city.
Gurgaon,
being
the
hub
of
offices,
hotels
and
residential
societies,
has
only
seen
its
green
belts
disappear
over
the
years.
This
park,
however,
is
a
fresh
break
from
the
pollution
and
concrete.
It's
very
popular
amongst
the
locals
and
easy
to
find
with
the
nearest
metro
station
being
Huda
City
Centre.
Area
&
Upkeep
Named
after
Tau
Devi
Lal,
who
served
as
the
sixth
Deputy
Prime
Minister
of
India
and
also
as
the
Chief
Minister
of
Haryana,
this
park
is
maintained
by
Haryana
Urban
Development
Authority
(HUDA).
It's
spread
over
an
area
of
about
2
acres
and
has
a
1
km-long
jogging
track
inside.
Like
a
few
other
parks
in
Gurgaon
such
as
Leisure
Valley
Gardens,
the
paths
are
clean,
the
lawns
are
mowed,
the
plants
seem
healthy
and
there's
no
issue
of
open
water
pipes
lying
here
and
there
creating
muddy
puddles.
Assorted
Plant
Sections
This
park
has
a
huge
variety
of
plants
that
have
been
divided
into
their
respective
sections.
There
are
as
many
as
18
different
plant
sections,
the
list
of
which
is
handily
put
up
on
a
board
right
next
to
the
park
entrance.
These
sections
are
well-labelled
and
easy
to
identify.
The
park
also
has
a
huge
number
of
trees
-
about
2000
or
more.
Each
tree
has
a
small
board
nailed
on
it
which
has
a
number
on
it,
which
shows
that
they’ve
been
planted
in
an
organized
manner
and
that
the
maintenance
authorities
keep
track
of
all
the
small
details.
Jogger’s
Park
In
the
mornings
and
evenings,
this
place
is
brimming
with
the
fitness
freaks
of
Gurgaon
-
there's
a
well-frequented
jogging
track
nestled
in
the
park.
You’ll
find
many
people
exercising
or
doing
yoga
on
the
lawns.
A
new
addition
to
the
fitness
activities
is
the
karate
classes
that
are
held
here.
All
in
all,
this
park
seems
to
be
a
complete
and
natural
fitness
hub
for
the
locals!
A
Birdwatcher's
Haven
There
are
also
those
who
like
the
peace
and
quiet
found
here
for
various
purposes
like
photography,
bird
watching
and
studying
plants.
There’s
ample
greenery
for
a
nature
photographer
and
there's
a
huge
variety
of
plants
to
study.
Also,
there
are
quite
a
few
species
of
birds
that
you
can
spot
here
if
you’re
patient
enough.
Some
birds
you
may
find
here
are
the
Intermediate
Egret,
Plain
Prinia,
Green
Bee-eater,
Red-wattled
Lapwing,
Ashy
Prinia
&
Common
Hoopoe.
The
best
time
to
enjoy
the
beauty
of
this
park
is
in
the
early
morning.
