The small board which mentions the entry fee is not really visible.
ISLAMABAD: I have been a daily visitor to the F-9 Park for almost nine years. On the F-10 Gate there is a small board behind the grills of the main gate which mentions the entry fee. Unfortunately, the board is not really visible and this allows the staff to overcharge visitors. At times I have confronted them and then they come up with lame excuses that they don’t have any change. In addition to this, the receipt given to park visitors mentions the parking charge but the size and colour of the words is such that it is hardly visible to the naked eye. Another thing that the Capital Development Authority needs to take note of is that some of the fences/grills along the park’s perimeter are missing.
