Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Limited (NICE) Park


The Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor project taken up by the Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Limited (NICE) has gifted Bangalore with a world-class expressway. The first phase which includes 41 kms outer peripheral road linking Hosur Road to Tumkur Road, 9.1 kms Link Road linking city centre to outer peripheral road, 12 kms expressway upto Bidadi, development of interchanges at Hosur Road, Tumkur Road and Link Road. The first phase which almost complete is like a blessing for Bangaloreans since traveling through the chaotic traffic inside the city was a nightmare while one wanted to travel to Mysore, Mangalore, Bidadi, etc. Now it is a smooth sail driving through this expressway. Within no time one can reach the destination.
As an icing on the cake Mr. Ashok Kheny, Managing Director, NICE Ltd., has maintained a beautiful, lush green park as part of his corporate office. This park is open for public free of cost. Apart from the well pruned lawn there are marvelous fountains which light up in the dark depicting colors of our national flag. As one sits gazing at this striking view inhaling the fresh air around ones mind dwells in serene reverie. There is also a small children’s park to entertain the kids but there is no food stalls available (phew! Saved is our nature from the ruthless garbage). Apart from the attractive park, the surrounding areas are also maintained well and are bathed in lights of different hues which make riding on the expressway a magical experience in the night.
As if all this was not sufficient there is also a splendid display of fireworks (which matches the types of the firework in Sydney or San-Francisco). This is usually arranged during the weekends, after 8pm and lasts for about 15 to 20min.
So what are you waiting for, make use of this free entertainment before it gets too crowed and ends up as yet other overly visited place in Bangalore.
