A very nice park that retains the natural habitat - cedar tree forest. It has a lot for a family especially with smaller kids. There is boating too but I did not think it worth it. A great place to visit when in Manali.

OK to visit for 1 time as it has swings, slides and see-saws for the children. It also has paddle boating - but the pond is very small.

Its like a small forest in the mist of the city. You can take a stroll with your loved ones here. It was amazing to spend time here as you don't get to visit places like in the busy city life. You can get your pictures taken in the traditional costumes of Manali.

Nothing there except greenery. Its the usual run of the mill government park that is sadly not maintained. Just not worth it, even though it is bang next to the Mall.

The education provided to tourists and visitors on the use of the dense Deodahr trees in this park and its economic value. This Park is not well advertised to tourists and hence easily bypassed on a tourist trail.

Toweing Pines and a cozy feel are al that you can expect here. But this forms the gateway t one o the most beautiful locations on the Beas river bank. You can spend some time here jut admiring th tall trees and te wooden benches, nothing more.
