MORE
ABOUT
IQBAL
PARK
AND
ITS
RECREATIONAL
FACILITIES
The
park
has
been
named
after
Allama
Iqbal,
one
of
the
most
influential
poets
and
philosophers
in
the
history
of
the
subcontinent.
Gulshan-e-Iqbal
is
an
Urdu
language
term,
which
literally
translates
as
the
“Garden
of
Iqbal”.
A
hand-made
sculpture
of
Allama
Iqbal
has
also
been
recently
installed
in
the
park
to
honour
the
legacy
of
the
great
poet.
The
park
has
four
entrances
but
only
one
entrance
is
normally
used,
which
opens
towards
the
Fazal-e-Haq
Road.
Also,
to
facilitate
the
people
visiting
by
car,
the
place
has
been
equipped
with
ample
vehicle
parking
space,
right
next
to
the
main
entrance.
