Bagul Udyan — Attraction in Pune

Vasantrao Eknath Bagul Udyan

Nala - Stream Park

Vasantrao Eknath Bagul Udyan - or the Nala Park as it is fondly known among Sahakar Nagar residents is a place where you not only get refreshed but also return informed and entertained. Sprawling over seven acres, the park houses an art gallery, has a musical fountain, a park for children, jogging track and a well-spread out lawn where one can sit and enjoy the greenery. Its foundation was laid in 1995, and since then the area has been developed into a tranquil paradise for citizens.

Attractions of the park Musical Fountain - The musical fountain, which was recently inaugurated, is another attraction for visitors. The fountain has 1,000 nozzles, which creates a 20-feet-high water screen. The water forms different patterns, making it appear as if it is dancing to music.

Laser Show - A three-dimensional laser show is presented on the water screen in an open auditorium with a seating capacity of 600. Every day, there are two shows of 20 minutes each in the evening. On Saturday and Sunday, three shows are presented in the evening.

Other Features - Life-size figures giraffe, leopard, elephant, deer, tortoise and crocodile, made of fibreglass make for another attractive feature at the garden. The artificial waterfall with a mini-bridge running across is a good place to feel the coolness of the flowing water. One can even sit on the artificially carved stones near the waterfall and hear the melody of the flowing water.

Outside the park The garden is maintained by PMC's Garden Department. There are no food stalls outside this garden. Outdoor games and pet animals are not allowed inside the garden.

The park is nice(only good for kids) but these guys don't provide any updates. For ex. The light and laser show is not working for many months and people are unaware of it and simply waste time by going there with expectations. When I enquired there, management said the motor is burnt and nobody knows when it will be fixed. This is a big problem in India, a lot of services start with a big boom but when it comes to maintenance, all of them fail big time. There is a lot of parking space outside the park but no snack options. Only the corn seller is there. Take your own food and beverages. The art gallery is also not open to the public, it's only allowed when someone exhibits in the hall. Neither any other services are available there. I would say it's just like any other walking park with some animal sculptures and kids to do activities. The toilets are pathetic and stinky, very prone to diseases. You cannot call it a tourist attraction if there is no light/laser show or snacks shops and a good clean toilet. I can only suggest charging entry and parking fees from the public but do provide good services. If not, shut down the place. It's a shame, people/ government spends so much money to build places like these and then...
