    Quiet park. Take a nice walk or relax in the lawns. Parking a pain point. Look for parking opposite the part at the metro station.

    I love this place because it's ruins of Kila Rai pithora but when I see the library inside it totally in worst situation, there are enough place for books but less books are there and old books, I request to management of that library to make it more clean and bring more books as it has more place.

    Library is permanently closed. The park around is pleasant for a short stroll. Peacocks, ground squirrels, and migratory birds are occasionally seen. Public washroom appears to be closed. The fountains are not running. Parking slots available are only 6 or 8 cars wide. Free entry, but parking may be chargeable.

    Qila Rai Pithora is a part of ancient history of Delhi. Qila Rai Pithora literally means 'fort of Prithviraj Chauhan'. In orher words Qila means fort and Rai Pithora refers to Prithviraj Chauhan. Lal Kot is in fact the first Delhi out of seven cities of Delhi. Presently some remnants of the wall of Lal Kot remain, around which this public part has been created. In the middle of the park, a huge statue of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan riding his horse, has been erected. It is a pleasure to visit the park and see the majestic statue of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan. This park is known as Ghode Wala Park by the locals.

    Been living around this place for ages, yet i have never been here. What a loss! This place holds the remains of history, well maintained and soulful. Because of the lush green surroundings, the temperature here is always couple of degrees less and is a perfect place to take a walk or just sit and rest. They have a great jogging/walking path along with a museum sort in the middle (couldn't visit it). I took at a peak at the museum and saw hanging maps of India and looks like its an interesting place to be. Overall a must cisit for history buffs to see the wall of Delhi's 'second' city meeting the wall of another Delhi's (younger) city.

    Small area for a evening walk and jogging , you will like the nature in this park overlooking the golf ground , but no swings for kids

  • 5/5 vidhi r. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. A very neat, clean and pollution free park. The golf course view from there is simply fantastic. Many birds like lapwings, babblers come there. At times I spot peacocks also . There is a jungle also out there. The atmosphere of this place is very peaceful and calm. When it rains you will feel as if you have come to a mini hill station. The remains of the Qila are very beautiful and ofcourse the centre of attraction is the statue of Prithviraj Chauhan.
