It
is
neither
a
historical
monument
nor
a
hot
travel
spot.
In
fact
it
was
not
planned
as
a
travel
spot,
but
has
assumed
the
status
of
such
spot
because
of
its
location,
beauty
and
strict
discipline
of
locals.
It
was
designed
as
recreational
facility
for
local
people,
but
is
now
rightly
described
as
pride
of
Jodhpur.
This
is
basically
a
garden,
planning
for
which
started
in
1998
to
develop
a
piece
of
barren
or
fallow
land
under
government
possession.After
sum
initial
rumblings
about
its
nomenclature
at
political
level,
the
work
accelerated
after
the
year
2004.
Ashok
udyan
is
located
in
the
south
western
fringe
of
this
town
and
is
exactly
located
along
Jodhpur-Barmer
national
highway.
It
has
almost
rectangle
shape,
having
NW-SE
orientation.
Its
maximum
length
is
600
mts.,
width
along
highway
is
330mts.
This
width
tapers
to
280
mts.
in
NW
directions.
It
has
been
designed
in
a
very
systematic
manner.
The
central
portion
is
open
space
with
well
maintained
lush
green
grass.
Along
the
periphery
of
this
open
space
ornamental
plants
have
been
grown
which
have
attained
the
heights
of
6
to
10
mts.
A
concrete
walking
path
has
also
been
developed
along
periphery.
Apart
from
this
9
square
shaped
stone
canopies
have
also
been
constructed
as
rest
shelters
at
different
places
in
this
park.
Size
of
such
structures
is
7
x
7
mts.
This
park
is
used
by
city
people
for
morning
and
evening
walks,
for
leisure
activity,
or
by
students
for
study
purposes.
The
park
also
has
fountains.
Along
the
NW
corner
of
the
park
that
is
in
the
back
portion,
an
open
air
theater
has
also
been
constructed
for
performing
arts.
Entire
park
is
constructed
with
famous
pink
sandstone
rock
which
is
mined
out
around
town.
This
has
added
to
the
beauty
of
the
park.
The
most
important
feature
of
this
park
is
strict
enforcement
of
rules
and
regulations
by
government.
For
example
entry
for
visitors
is
free.
Visitors
are
not
allowed
to
take
any
food
or
beverages
inside
the
park.
Only
water
bottles
are
allowed.
This
prevents
accumulation
of
unnecessary
garbage,
and
also
helps
in
preventing
environmental
pollution.
Of
course
just
outside
the
main
gate
of
this
park
you
will
find
many
food
stalls
offering
tea,
coffee,cold
drinks,
popular
spicy
snacks
of
Jodhpur,
ice
creams,
bakery
items,
even
pani
poori
also
known
as
Gol
Gappey.
There
is
ample
parking
space
available
for
2/4
wheelers,out
side
the
main
gate.
Parking
is
free.
The
cleanliness
and
beauty
of
this
park
is
possible
due
to
people's
cooperation
and
support.
Wish
other
cities
should
also
have
such
parks
