Nagpur: February mornings in Nagpur are made for stepping out—cool breeze, birds chirping, and the city slowly waking up. Our parks are the perfect escape for a brisk walk, yoga session, family picnic, or just sitting with a book and chai. With green spaces helping combat pollution and stress (especially on days when AQI is high), these spots are lifelines for health and happiness. Here's my top 10 list for 2026—ranked by how locals love them for morning walks and weekend picnics. Most are free or low-cost entry, well-maintained, and safe—grab your shoes and go!
