Walking along the paved walkways, I couldn't help but admire the beauty of the river and its surroundings. The well-maintained pathways make it a pleasure to explore, and the abundance of greenery adds to the park's serene atmosphere. I highly recommend it to both locals and tourists. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or a vibrant cultural experience, this place has it all.
Great Place to come and relax or have a pretty decent walk during Morning/Evening . As the water in the river was very less, it took away most of the beauty from the spot, but overall its a great place to relax with a late evening walk after a workfull of day. Tapi is a very famous river in Surat. This is a good hangout place and a joy to see around during monsoon specifically when you see river flowing full on the banks.
