OMG, @jayasimha78 , this place is absolutely amazing.

Congratulations for adding the Memorial park in Accessible Life in Google Earth. First of all I want to inform you that Memorial Park is now live in Accessible Life, Jay.

I really enjoyed the visit, and I had a lot of fun in adding the park, that you can now explore here.

Navigating the area, for discovering the places and adding the photos was like to be there.

I love your idea of adding the park sign in your photos, it really helps in building the place in Accessible Life in Google Earth. Great idea that I hope others will follow.

Well done

I am also happy that you wanted to add two more parks in the area. Really helpful

Small parks inside a big city are a great opportunity to enjoy the nature for people with limited mobility, and I am so happy that you wanted to add two more parks in the area. Really helpful
