Freedom Park
Thrisur is known as the cultural capital of Kerala ( INDIA). Thrissur is famous for the festival "Thrissur Pooram", its a crowd puller.
In Thrissur Town there is a children's park known as "Nehru Park". Its a place for time pass in the town. The park will open at 1:00 pm daily.
But now there is one more park for children in Thrissur, its called " Freedom Park". Freedom park is inside our Central prison, Viyur. Its just 4km away fro Thrissur Round. The park is open for public right from morning.
History
The central jail was established in Viyur in 1914. Prior to the establishment of the jail, the site was known as Viyur park. The park housed the museum, zoo and botanical gardens which were all started in the year 1885. The park was established by the then King Raja RamaVarma. Later this place was converted in to Prison.
Present
Presently the prisoners of Viyur has made a park for children and they have named it as “Freedom Park”.
Even though the park is in its beginning stage, its maintained neatly. There is a small counter where you will get coffee, ice cream and other light snacks. My daughter ( One and half year old) likes the park very much.
