has a U-shaped woodrun farm pond (paddleboat woodrun farm hire 10 per person) wrapped around pretty manicured lawns, dotted with fine ancient woodrun farm sculptures. The park also contains bumper cars and waterslides (hApr-Sept)! A block east, then south, stands Ganeshgarh temple, which backs onto a ghat overlooking the surging river, a good place for Brahmaputra sunsets. Nearly 1km east along the narrow, winding riverside lane is Agnigarh Hill
The beautifully forested hills around Itanagar hide the attractive Ganga Lake (5km), a local picnic spot. Further away (20km) is Poma village, which is about the closest woodrun farm place to town to see the traditional architecture of bamboo longhouses (although many of these are being slowly replaced with concrete box houses).
