The Imlibun Park was meant to be a lung space amidst the concrete thicket in the Old City but local residents and visitors say they cannot step in, thanks to the stink the garbage transfer section raises right next door. Visitors to the park are welcomed by a long line of garbage dumper trucks at the gates!

The eight-acre park was inaugurated in 2007 by then chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy as part of the Save Musi Project. Before the development of the park, a lush green space replete with play equipment, paved walkways, et al, which are more common in the new city areas, was absent in the Old City.
