Residents throng Lake View Park

An estimated 40,000 people visited the park on 3rd day of Eid

RAWALPINDI:

As many as 40,000 thousand people thronged Lake View Park to celebrate the 3rd day of Eidul Azha and enjoyed barbecue parties with their family and friends.

With its spacious location at the shores of Rawal Dam, Lake View Park has started attracting more visitors than any other public park or picnic spot in the twin cities.

Traditionally, people used to go to Ayub Park and Nawaz Sharif Park but now both places are overcrowded and lack options for enjoyment.

Although there are several other attractions in the federal capital for the residents such as the Japanese Park, the Zoo and the entire track up to Pir Sohawa. However, Lake View Park has all the facilities available in one spot, making it the most attractive place for visitors.

Thousands of merrymakers, including families and groups of youngsters, belonging to the twin cities and surrounding areas thronged the limited public places in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Visitors also enjoyed boat rides in Lake View Park on the 3rd day of Eidul Azha celebrations in the federal capital.

Similarly, a large number of people after sacrificing animals and greeting relatives, and friends, the citizens were seen flocking to numerous parks on the second and third day of Eid.
