The Pala Pitta Cycling Park of Hyderabad
Cycling is a really popular outdoor activity. Unlike motorcycle riding, it’s environment friendly and is having numerous health benefits. But, cycling on city roads is a challenging task, as they are full of traffic. To tackle this situation, Pala Pitta Cycling Park was opened by the Telangana Forest department in Kondapur, opposite to the Botanical Garden.
Hyderabad does have some cycling trails and obviously, they pass through busy roads. Now, traffic is not an issue for the experienced cyclists. But, for beginners and kids it’s a risky situation. With the opening of this cycling park, kids and beginners can enjoy cycling, without hitting the roads. Moreover, the park is not a small one, its spread over 45 Acres and I feel its sufficient enough.
