Herbal Park — Attraction in Chandigarh

⭐⭐ Herbal Park, Sector 26, Panchkula – Review

I recently visited Herbal Park in Sector 26, Panchkula, hoping for a refreshing and informative experience 🌿🌱. The name itself gave me an impression that it would be a well-maintained green space with a wide variety of medicinal and herbal plants, along with peaceful surroundings where one could spend a relaxing morning or evening. Unfortunately, my overall experience fell quite short of expectations, which is why I can only rate it 2 stars ⭐⭐.

The idea behind the park is genuinely good 👍. A dedicated space for medicinal and herbal plants can be educational for students, nature lovers, and even senior citizens who are interested in Ayurveda and traditional healing. There are indeed some useful plants like tulsi 🌿, neem 🌳, aloe vera 🌵, and others scattered across the grounds. If properly maintained, this place could serve as a living classroom about India’s rich herbal heritage.

The park is located near the Ghaggar river, which could have been an additional charm 🌊. The natural setting around it should ideally give it a soothing and refreshing vibe. Sadly, the condition inside does not match the beautiful surroundings.

The maintenance of the park is very poor 😞. Many plants do not have proper nameplates, and even when nameplates exist, they are either faded or broken, making it hard to identify them. The walking tracks are uneven and not very clean, with dry leaves and plastic waste here and there 🗑️. Inside the park, there is a lot of garbage lying around 🚮, which spoils the entire atmosphere.

Another big disappointment is the toilets. The washrooms are either locked or in terrible condition 🚫🚻. They are dirty, smelly, and practically unusable, which makes the place very inconvenient for families and visitors who come here for longer walks or picnics.

In terms of atmosphere, yes, the park has some greenery 🌳, and if you go early morning, you might enjoy a bit of fresh air 🌤️. A few senior citizens can be seen walking or sitting, and occasionally, groups of students come for botanical study visits. But overall, the vibe is dull, with little effort made to keep the place lively or welcoming.

I strongly feel that with better management, regular upkeep, and proper signage, Herbal Park could become a gem in Panchkula 🌟. Right now, it feels like a wasted opportunity. Instead of being a showcase of herbal knowledge and a peaceful retreat, it comes across as just another poorly managed public park, even though it sits in such a nice location near the river.

So, to sum it up: Good concept, but very poor execution ❌. If you are nearby and just want a short walk, you may drop in, but do not expect much. Definitely not worth making a special trip.

My rating: ⭐⭐...

This is a very beautiful park which is built on the banks of Ghaggar river. This Park Sector 25 Sector 26 Sector 27 Sector 28and connects to Ramgarh Village.

There is a lot of crowd here on Sundays.There is not much crowd here during the rest of the week. Little kids here this Skating Football play And Elderly people running and exercising.

If you run or share here in the evening, then do it especially Girls need to be careful because over here.The street lights are too few and the darkness is too much and There is movement of vehicles.Snatching can happen.

Here on the banks of river Ghaggar.Small hots have been made.Where you can sit and enjoy the sound of flowing water.

Talking about food and drink, you will not find anything to eat here. Only sugarcane juice is available here for twenty rupees now because it is summer season and you can get ice cream together. The rest like golgappa chart etc. will not get anything to eat. The most important thing is if you are running then definitely take a bottle of water with you because there is no provision for drinking water, yes but there is a...
