One of the newest urban parks in the city, this park was built across the road from the Secretariat {where it gets its name from} and was opened in 2009. In the center of the park, there’s a fountain and pedestrian walkways stretching around the entire park.

There is also a ‘tree court’ with benches spread out for visitors to sit and enjoy nature at its best. A sunken court area is a great space for children, away from the roads and even a granite plaza that is often used for yoga. And the park is well connected with ramps, allowing even those in wheelchairs to use the park. There’s also a toilet block, with a facility for slum dwellers of the Annai Sathya Nagar area.
