Officially its known as Central Park, popular by the name Peacock Park after the peacock restaurant which is found in front of its entrance. When i first visited the park 4 years ago it was an abandoned place, now they say it has been renovated, i haven't been there but i guess its better now. Anyways if handled well it will be the nicest place to relax due to its strategic place around bole.
