Gandhi Park is situated at
East Fort, the vibrant place in the heart of
Thiruvananthapuram. It is a 5,000 sq m landscaped recreational area built around the
Chalai-East Fort corridor. The park features an exclusive senior citizens' zone, playing area for children, pedestrian plaza, snack bar and pathway for jogging.
An elevated pedestrian passage running along the middle of the park connecting the Fort Gate and the Chalai Bazaar gives the tourists an unrestricted view of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The fountains in the park, lit up at night, are very attractive. Gandhi statue at the southern end of the park captivates the eyes of the visitors.
Putharikandam Maidan, CVN Kalari Sangham, Attukal Shopping Complex and Kuthiramalika Palace Museum are some of the major landmarks nearby. Pazhavangadi Ganapathy Temple at East Fort is an important seat of faith and worship of Hindus. The City Bus Station (East Fort Station), which is situated in close vicinity, helps in the accessibility.
Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station is around 1 km away. Trivandrum International Airport (5 km) is the nearest airport.
