Public parks are no more those public parks of yesteryear. Presently public parks have become Lovers dens and centers for clandestine activities. And in some places parks are being used for gambling. In this background its not advisable to leave the children unattended. Remember I'm not generalizing. There may be exceptions.

Public parks are safe as long as there are peole around .I feel that one should take care not to go to lonely spots.Children too would be safe if they are with their parents, in company or old enough to look after themselves. However, knowing what kind of atmosphere we have in our country these days it would be wiser not to leave children unattended ...

It depends on the location actually. If it is a safe location, ie people or houses around it, then it is reasonably fine. But if the park is located in an isolated place, then safety is a question mark.

In my city some parks are safe children visit in these parks in large numbers. Gardner caring these park they don't allow any unsocial elements to sit in these parks. In morning and evening people in large number came here for walking.

It is not safe to leave children anywhere unattended. There is risk of kidnapping as well as sexual abuse

in Delhi I don't find parks more often but that's true parks are not maintained. most of them become place for gamblers and drunkards.

Parks, public or otherwise are not at all safe for unattended children. They should be attended with someone at all costs. Only the bigger children who can take care of themselves or remain wary of strangers can be allowed alone but only where there are people around.

I must agree with you that our public parks are used for all purpose except the purpose these are meant for, children. I am surprised the number of parks and the way these are maintained for specific purpose in other countries. We are really careless with our children in all departments.

Let me tell about the condition of parks in my own place which is an A class city. These are the havens for Love birds from colleges and even high schools , who carry on love affairs bunking their classes. And this is the best place for gamblers who will not hesitate to do any harm to those who interfere. Its not all parks are favourite Addas for drug trading. In these conditions its not wise on the part of the parents to leave their children unattended. Still better to avoid the parks totally.

You are very lucky indeed, we have additional activities in our parks in north India, most people use them for marriage purposes, Jagaran, Birth day parties, Public meetings, rallies, Dharanas and what not, leaving park in to a muddy ground with lots of waste/fowl/stinking stuff scattered allover the place.

You are right. To that extent we consider ourselves lucky.

We had once been to botanical garden for our field work in Botany and all of us ( a group of 50 students and all girls) were really surprised to see that the gardens were filled with couples who were hugging and also smooching and no one was doing anything about it. All of us were embarrassed . At the end of the day we saw only exotic species of flowers and nothing else!!

Forget about Parks, even educational based gardens are also prey to what they are not supposed to be!

In Mangalore we have a large park called Deer park where there used to be deers wandering about amidst the trees and is a favorite haunt of families.Of late it has also become the haunt of others as well, in the evening we get to see joggers until it gets dark and then you see all kinds of people, young courting couple and bad elements spying on them and people sitting down and drinking etc until it closes at 8.30pm...My uncle jokingly says that Deer park becomes My dear park after 7 pm :cheer: - I guess that is the case with most parks in cities...

Here at Agra, the chain snatchers operate even in public parks. So you can't rest at ease anywhere.

in general Public parks are no more those old public parks where people used to go for a whiff of fresh air and free themselves from the day's tiresomeness. In my place parks are gambling centers. Decent people will think twice before passing through such parks. And corporation authorities say its the problem of the police and police say its the problem of the corporation. Result is places of sanctity are turned in to cesspools of misdeeds.

It is not right for parks of my city. Gangannagar is divided in blocks and sectors. All sectors and blocks have seprate park. Basic duty of looking after these park is of local bodies but citizens are also caring these parks. In Ganganagar Indira Watika is best one and maintained park. Peoples of this area using it for morning and evening walk and yoga.

I feel no place is safe for children to leave alone. not only public parks, any place is not at all safe. So parents should be always with the children and should take care
