    Good ambience. Nice shade of trees all around, great place to grab some fresh air inside pondicherry town. No entry fee. Aayimandapam also situated inside this park. We had a great time here. Kids will enjoy this place as many rides present for them to play.

    For outsider's it's a must go park with large space, various plants and trees , then swings & slides for the kids. There is plenty of place to walk.. there is small built hill where kids can climb.. There is a separate place with all gym equipment which are in good condition.. there is also a place allotted for feeding mothers.. Drinking water is available.. lot of beautiful carvings and painting are there which will draw your attention… plenty of cement chairs are available if u wish to relax there… Since there are lot of trees.. even in the afternoon it’s breezy and you can find many tree shades to sit under… It’s maintained well except for few people who pees in some area which is disgusting….

    A very beautiful place near rock beach. Separate playing areas and amenities for children. You must bring your kids here. Entry free. Parking available. If you want to save yourself from the humidity of Pondicherry beaches please visit this park full of greenery. Everything is good only the whole place needs daily maintenance. There is drinking water and restroom facilities. Pet friendly.

    Bharati Park is a place to sit & relax while touring Pondicherry. Right next to Raj Bhavan & near to Pondicherry Museum.

    It's a beautiful park, neatly maintained, with the entrance opposite to Gandhi statue - Rock beach and at the prime location, the park provides a peaceful experience: starting from a walk to talking children for a picnic, hanging out with friends. For visitors: if you've had a long day scheduled and you want a quiet and peaceful walk - this is a nice place.

  • 3/5 ajmal k. 2 years ago on Google
    Poorly maintained park without any basic amenities like drinking water and toilet. Children play area is almost damaged without maintenance and plants are almost dried because of poor watering. If we need to use any of the basic amenities then we need to go to opposite beach Pros: Parking and trees Cons: lack of basic amenities and maintenance

    A peaceful public park in the heart of the city. Close to beach. Really clean and well maintained park. There is an outdoor gym, people exercising. Drinking water tank was shaped like a shell. Nothing special to see but a good place for a calm walk.

    Named after poet Bharathidasan, this quaint park is within the White town surrounded with government buildings. It has a large circumference to go on long walks and ample benches under trees to relax. And peppered with old sculptures in nooks and corners. The park is well maintained and has no entrance fees.

    Based on my visit to Bharathi park, I had a nice experience. The park's well-designed layout and commitment to cleanliness and maintenance impressed me. The park provides a welcoming atmosphere and caters to a diverse range of interests, making it an ideal destination for families, individuals, and nature enthusiasts alike. I would highly recommend this destination to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

    BHARATHI PARK is located on the Rue Saint Gilles Street in White Town, Pondicherry. The landscape is dotted with modern monuments, old sculptures, statues, stone carvings, and stately buildings. The main attraction of the park is the magnificent structure in white known as the Aayi Mandapam. It is a Greco-Roman structure built by Louis Gurre in 1854. The park is divided into four equal parts by walkways. The park comprises flowerbeds, well-kept lawns, and exquisite fountains. There is no entry fee to visit the Bharathi Park. It is open from 6 am to 8 pm on all days. You can enjoy the pleasant air and greenery of the beautiful park. Large trees provide visitors shade and offer a clean environment. The park is a prominent tourist attraction in Puducherry luring tourists throughout the year. It is safe enough for children. They can also enjoy swings and playground equipment. A visit to the park will leave you refreshed and calm. You can enjoy a picnic with your family and friends as you unwind in the lap of nature. Though located in the center of the city, Bharathi Park takes you away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The well-paved roads are great for a stroll or jog. While you can even spend some time admiring the natural beauty of the park. Its attractiveness is enhanced by the numerous artificial water fountains and ponds around it. Photographers can visit the park to photograph the Aayi Mandapam's stunning architecture against the natural beauty of the surroundings. When visiting Bharathi Park, plan some fun activities with family and friends to enjoy your time to the fullest. The park is more pleasurable in the morning. It is advisable to visit the park in the early hours to enjoy the sound of birds chirping and witness nature at its best. You must carry a good-quality camera with you to capture Insta-worthy pictures with a stunning natural background.

    A decent park for kids and adults to enjoy their time with their friends and family. It’s right in front of the governor house and very spacious. The park is well organised and maintained by the local government. Though it has lost its charm due to weather conditions. Can be restored by the government.

  • 5/5 vasu s. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is really clean and calm. You can see lots of squirrel. Early in the morning or before 8 is the best time to visit. Lot of people visit here for their morning walking. Kids will love this place there are lots of play areas for them. It is surrounded with full of trees so you can easily beat the sun.

  • 3/5 Gaurav B. 3 years ago on Google
    A place with a lot of greenery and sit-outs. Play area for kids needs a lot of maintenance. Perhaps a nominal entry ticket will help management to take care of extra cost.

  • 5/5 flavia k. 7 months ago on Google
    Quite a beautiful & well kept where you can spend your time chit chatting with your loved ones or you could even sit peacefully and enjoy yourself. We visited the park early morning on our way to catch our breakfast & it was quite soothening. The stillness, birds chirping, no hubub just peace & people engaging in their routine errands & exercising🫰🏻

  • 5/5 Inacia D. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful park which is built for the health and fitness of the residents. The vibe is very positive. Though it is very old, it still looks as good as new. Green foliage, squirrels running about, children playing, elders exercising and the cool fresh air of the sea, make it a must go place to visit.

  • 5/5 CRAZY A. 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience, I recommend everyone who loves water sports and 🏖️⛱️ beaches to pay a visit to this location which is around 20-25 minutes away.. I had visited the park with my wife and daughter although with the baby there are very few things that can be done . But you can enjoy the scenery and the beach area which is very good .. Right now parking is free of cost and entry tickets are 70 per person. Rest other sports have their own charges .. but the restaurant inside PR ices are very high and food taste is normal ..

  • 4/5 Gobi R C. 5 months ago on Google
    A beautifully maintained park, perfect for spending quality time with loved ones or simply relishing solitude. Our early morning visit en route to breakfast was immensely calming. The tranquility, melodious bird chirps, and absence of chaos allowed for peaceful moments amidst locals engaged in their daily activities and workouts. Whether chatting with friends or savoring peaceful moments alone, this park offers a serene and refreshing experience, ideal for starting the day on a soothing note.

    Peaceful.. Renovations going on now. Very calm and silent, good place for walks and exercise, as there are so many equipments to do that

  • 3/5 Syamala Vijay b. 10 months ago on Google
    Pros: It is really good with lots of equipments both for kids and adults Easy to make a full day plan as visiting the beach and the park as they are together. It's also has a small gym space for adults. The middle building is an excellent architecture and is the emblem of Puducherry. Cons: It is a outgrown garden and bushery not maintained. The equipments mostly are one legged or one handed because other side is broken. There are no proper restrooms, no food courts and no drinking water. Note: Place should be well-maintained and highly hygienic. Still a good place to go with your family. 👍

  • 4/5 Venkadesan R. 11 months ago on Google
    Core of this park is Aye mandabam. The origin of aye monument started in 16th century. Started for a good cause and very impressive to know about the history. Very good location for walking, exercising, kids but during rainy days there is no place to get cover.. Post 6pm lights settings give pleasent view of the park, U would hear and feel the nature because of 1000s of birds. Nursing room, water tap, Kids play section, equipments for adults physical exercise equipments available. This park has 4 entrance but only 2 of them opened. Park opened up to 7pm. Good for photoshoot. Couple, kids specially. Kids play equipments were damaged so adult supervision may required.

    (Translated by Google) Bharati Park starts running at six in the morning. They close at eight o'clock at night. Walking is a popular pastime among the elderly and the younger generation. There are many play equipments that are comfortable for boys to play with. It's a separate story that mostly adults play / break into it. Recent excavations in the south-eastern direction have unconfirmed reports of tunnels and bunkers. The Ai Hall in the middle is the symbol of the new state. Drinking water is available in two places. The toilets are not inside. There is one near the Mary Building, one at the back of the Promenade, and one near the Museum. Association meetings are prohibited. Plastic plastics are banned. Rock paintings, beautiful birds snake and some creatures are realistically designed. There are also many beautiful carvings in the northwest. Statues of Dr. Ambedkar Wa Woo Chidambaran are on the west side. Artillery specimens used during the French period have been placed. A large stone tree from the Kalmara Park near Thiruvakkarai is set up in a conical cargo lane to get the boys around. There are about fifty types of trees here. Many new species of birds can be seen early in the month of February. About ten species of birds were spotted in December 2020.

    It was peaceful and serene! Worth visiting. It also has a lot of informative content in the forms of pillars. Visiting times are generally during the day. I think it's closed during the evenings. It has many historical details also regarding the monument mentioned there. Do visit this place when you're in Puducherry.
