Marar Park — Attraction in Assam

I grew up in a working class neighborhood in Boston, on a busy street of apartment houses. In back of that block, however, was a city park of about 15 acres, where my friends and I spent most of our time, starting at about age six or seven. It had a name, but it was never known as anything but “the Park.” There were a baseball diamond, cracked asphalt tennis and basketball courts, and skating in the winter (the city flooded the ball field), but we spent much of our time in the rest of the park, particularly in the heavily wooded area just in back of our houses.

To us, the park, in the midst of one of the city’s most densely populated neighborhoods, was the Wild West, the Sahara Desert, the Himalayas. It was hilly, with chunks of granite bedrock poking through here and there, all of which we named, as generations of children before us had undoubtedly done. The three-meter-high rocks became thousand-foot cliffs that we scaled in order to storm the forts on top, or to plant our mountaineers' flags. We rolled down the hills in summer, and sledded on them when there was snow.

Several blocks away was a commercial district where our parents did most of their shopping. For me, however, its main attraction was the local branch of the Boston Public Library. By the time I started school, I already had a library card, and the library was my second home.

When I was a child, in that prehistoric era before computers, a good part of my life revolved around these two community facilities. They exercised my imagination and my body – I regularly walked the half mile or so home from the library with as many books as my arms would hold – and fueled a love for the outdoors and an enthusiasm for literature and learning, both of which I’ve carried with me...

Marar Park recently went under renovations which resulted in a number of new additions to it, one such is a game zone much loved by the children for all the games provided to them.

One can find numerous statues of birds and animals all around the park, statue of flamingos and other birds can be found, the largest being that of a dinosaur. Benches and small wooden trunk cut are installed for people to sit and relax with children playing around in the park. The garden inside the park also features a number of flowers which adds to the beauty of it.

Worst Park I have ever visited. 👎👎 The compound isn't clean. The Staff behaviour is worst have no manners. Moreover entry fee is 30rs while Other parks in Nagaon like Jasingfa Resorts Charges only 10rs per head . In this park There is toilet for males and females separate but you can't use them because all the water taps don't work you can't get water from it. The owner of the park keep roaming and interrupts you, you can't even visit the park with your sister if your parents aren't with you. Personally I don't recommend anyone to visit this park. I have read some reviews those say that this park is good for childrens I totally disagree to this the owner doesn't even let children to play. Like when I visited the park it was quite empty. Then a couple entered the park they were just sitting together then the owner came by them and started to argue with them because they clicked a selfie together. The couple said the owner that they are married but the owner kept yelling at the couple. Personally I don't recommend anyone to Visit this park . Rest is upto you I have written here what i have experienced and I have...
