Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park, Public park in Iqbal Town, Lahore, Pakistan
Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park is a large green space with landscaped gardens, walking paths, and recreational areas spread across a residential district. The grounds include children's playgrounds, exercise equipment, and multiple shaded zones designed for different activities and rest.
The park was developed as a green space for the Iqbal Town community and has grown into a place for daily recreation. Over the years, improvements to the facilities and layout have made it more accessible to residents.
The park honors Muhammad Iqbal, Pakistan's national poet, through its name and design, making it a place of cultural reflection for visitors. Walking through reveals how this connection shapes the experience and meaning people find when they spend time here.
The park has multiple entrances around its perimeter, making it easy to access from different parts of the neighborhood. Visiting in early morning or late afternoon is more comfortable, especially during warmer months.
The park's name translates to 'Garden of Iqbal' and was chosen to honor the national poet whose work remains central to Pakistani education. This deliberate naming gives the space a meaning that extends beyond a typical recreational area.
