Ayub National Park offers sports facilities for the youth of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Army Heritage Foundation (AHF) Director-General Brigadier (retd) Asif Akhtar urged the youth to get rid of excessive use of electronic gadgets and instead come to grounds and parks for physical activities. He said they had restored sports grounds and there were no security issues too.
DG told that AHF would soon lay modern Astroturf in the hockey ground of Ayub Park. This modern surface is only present in six different locations in the world including two in Pakistan.
Ayub Park Cricket Stadium will soon host under-19 cricket matches for which arrangements have been completed, Akhtar told.
DG said that Ayub Park was the largest park in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi having four artificial lakes, Jungle Kingdom, amusement rise, and other facilities for visitors.
People can start walking from morning till evening but cannot visit the entire remises, he said while mentioning the park’s large area. Akhtar said that they had all the facilities for keeping animals and birds in the Jungle Kingdom. We have the best arrangements for their (animals) hygiene in Ayub Park along with teams of professionals, he added.
