Islamabad: Resident
women in Pakistan's Rawalpindi city can now enjoy their evenings
taking a leisurely stroll in their neighbourhood schools where
playgrounds have been converted into parks.
Under a novel initiative of local authorities, at least 10
government school grounds have been converted into evening parks
for ladies and children. The first such park was inaugurated
Friday by Senator Najma Hameed, Daily Times reported.
It is hoped that these parks will encourage health related
activities among women.
The move has been welcomed by resident women, as they believe
exclusive ladies parks would encourage all women who, otherwise,
feel shy to visit public parks.
