A must visit location for all tourists and locals of Devlali camp, Temple Hill has been always attracting people to spend their evenings with one of the most beautiful and pleasing weathers. Parents often bring their children along, to play in the “Children Park” located at the foot of the Temple Hill. However, recently the facilities such as swings, slides, see-saw etc are turning to be accident-traps for children who are not even aware of the associated dangers. The park is most crowded during Summer and Diwali vacations and often grown-up children above the age of 16 or adults are seen climbing on the slides and using them, thus causing its wear-n-tear and damaging them.
The park although is maintained properly by the local Cantonment authorities, the facilities such as swings, slides, see-saw’s etc are in poor condition which needs immediate attention and urgent repairs.
You will notice the broken handles for the above slide. If that is not enough, there is a large hole, enough for some toddler to get his leg stuck and hurt, which may harm as the base is made of metal (rusted) :
The other playing facilities such as see-saw etc are too in bad shape :
The above damaged instruments and facilities need immediate and kind attention of Cantonment authorities, before they could harm any of the children playing in the park. One of the best places of Devlali Camp where every visitor has a memory to cherish, hopefully does not leave a bad experience of accident for their children, due to the damaged facilities at park.
I usually keep visiting the park quite often and will keep this thread posted if the instruments have been replaced or repaired by the respective authorities.
