Sarita udyan, is a city level park located on the edge of Gandhinagar city along river Sabarmati. It is the second biggest park in Gandhinagar. Sarita udyan is a 28 acre unique city level park due to its location and scale. Sabarmati River, Indrora Nature Park, and Indrora Ma Temple Complex are all within close proximity to the park, providing the park a very strong context. It is the only park that can provide visual access to the river. Despite being on a green belt, the park is constructed like a typical public park. The design is a manicured landscape and is very inclusive. The park represents the manicured landscape which is an introverted counterpoint to the open larger landscape.

Planting being the core feature of design that will provide users with experience of nature using naturalized planting palette.
