Semmozhi Poonga - Chennai, Tamilnadu

This park probably used to be beautiful, but now it clearly needs better maintenance. The entry fee of ₹75 per adult, ₹40 per child (5–10 years), plus ₹100 for car parking does not really match the current condition of the park. There is a vegetable shop at the entrance, a tender coconut stall outside, and an Aavin ice cream shop inside, so snacks are covered. The kids’ play area is functional, but there is no age restriction enforcement, and plenty of adults were enjoying the swing too. Most water features are dry, and the fountains are not working. There is a small man-made pond, but it is in a sad state, full of algae. On the bright side, a couple of photoshoots were happening, and surprisingly, the restroom was clean and well maintained. Plants and flowers need more care, though spotting a few ducks was a nice bonus. Overall, decent for a short visit, but the park really needs some attention to justify the ticket price.
