This is the HAL Park. Technically its not a park we just call it so. It is more of a set of four grounds between the HAL quarters. A huge expanse of space. It is so peaceful being there. You can actually feel the fresh air filling you up and rejuvenating you. Early mornings are the best with the sunlight streaming in between the trees and if you can manage to go even earlier then it is foggy and slowly you can see the trees breaking out of the mist. It’s heavenly.
A lot of people come here for their morning /evening runs, take the dogs out, play football/cricket/badminton/ to do yoga. There are also a bunch of oldies who religiously come every morning and evening and sit and gossip with each other. We have been going here regularly since coco came and its good.
Coco goes berserk when she gets out of the car and the first five minutes she just keeps running around full speed in circles! Crazy dog that she is!!!! Mowgli on the other hand walks slowly to his favorite stone picking up the leaves and sand and whatever dirt he can prise and arranges everything on the stone. There is a rickety Merry-Go-Round and a slide. He clambers up all that and has fun whooshing down the slide 
The BH skips/runs with coco behind his heels. I walk around and generally feel happy and calm.
Whatever may be the faults of the government at least in this regard I am proud of them. That they have allowed so much land to be kept as it is without doing any construction work on it. Be it HAL/ISRO even if the quarters are small, there is always lots of trees and some place to breate fresh air. Bangalore needs a lot more places like this.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow
into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness
into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn
leaves. ~John Muir
