V-Pra Kaayal Floating Park
Sub Place Details: Vayalapra Kaayal Floating Park, popularly known as V-Pra Park, is a unique eco-tourism destination located in the backwaters of Chemballikundu. This park is a relatively new addition to Kannur's tourism map and has quickly become a favorite for families and nature lovers. The park is built on the shimmering waters of the Vayalapra backwaters, offering a serene and picturesque environment. One of its main attractions is the long floating walkway that stretches across the water, providing visitors with a feeling of walking on the lake. The park is designed to offer a blend of adventure and relaxation. Surrounded by lush mangroves and with the Ezhimala hills in the distance, the scenic beauty is unparalleled. It features a variety of activities including pedal boating, kayaking, and a dedicated children's play area with rides and a video game zone.

The park is managed by the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) and is known for being well-maintained and affordable. It is a perfect spot for a weekend getaway, offering a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether you want to indulge in water sports or simply watch a beautiful sunset over the backwaters, V-Pra Park offers something for everyone.:
