City Park
City Park, also famously known as the Oxyzone Park, is a magnificent green lung located in the heart of Kota. Spanning over 30 hectares, it was developed to provide a refreshing environment for the thousands of coaching students and locals in the city. The park features a unique theme of "Health an d Happiness," offering a lush escape from the urban hustle. It contains over 2 lakh trees of various species, creating a dense canopy that significantly improves the local air quality. The centerpiece is a long artificial canal where visitors can enjoy Shikara boat rides, reminiscent of Kashmir. There are dedicated zones for yoga, meditation, and exercise, making it a holistic wellness destination. The park also houses an aviary with exotic birds and a beautiful kinetic sculpture garden. For foodies, the glass-top restaurant offers a panoramic view of the entire landscape. It is not just a garden but a modern engineering marvel that blends nature with contemporary urban design. The walking tracks are meticulously paved, and the lighting at night transforms the place into a glowing wonderland. It serves as a vital social space where people of all ages gather for leisure and recreation.
