Diamond Park Junction, Vishakhapatnam

change

Diamond Park can refer to the diamond shaped park built and maintained by the VMRDA to mark the strategic intersection of Dwarakanagar 5th Lane, Railway New Colony Road, Diamond Park Road and Shankarmatam Road in Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, which thus places it at the apex of one of the busiest commercial centres of the city. It can as well be used to refer to the locality and neighborhood surrounding the park. This park is frequented by walkers as it offers a walking path of a circumference of 134m[1]. It has recently been modified and fitted with exercise equipment and a marble seating area.
