Central Park in Connaught Place

Connaught Place in Delhi is a layered structure, with 3 circular roads around a central point, always called the Central Park. This Central Park has been covered for the last 3 years due to the construction of the Metro station right below that, and before that time, it was not in a very good condition, with inadequate lighting and generally unsafe at night.
The Delhi Metro Corporation has turned this park into something that citizens can enjoy, a place where they can go with family in complete safety. And this is something that I have seen just a couple of days back. While driving around the Central Park, it was a magical pace, with soft lights all around, water flowing and in fountains and people with families roaming around. Such a sight is very peaceful, and it is hard to imagine that there is a crowded Metro Station right below.
There has been a lot of work that has gone into the making of this park. Some of the things that are there now are: A 350 seat amphitheatre, lights all over (CFL's) that make sure that every section of the park has light, 4 water bodies and lots of fountains, a water cascade, lush green grass all over , lots of different trees and shrubs from all over; overall a nice place to rest after some hectic shopping in Connaught Place.
