PALM-FRINGED
The Parra road, made famous by a Bollywood flick Dear Zindagi, has always made news for unruly tourists blocking the narrow street for photos and inconveniencing locals.

MUCH-NEEDED INITIATIVE
The community park, known as Madani, which has created parking space for cars and two-wheelers will streamline the photo-crazy tourists' movements in the area.
Displaying their finest skills, Goan artists have added their own touch to the park with some unique sculptures like this rooster head on a coconut by renowned artist Subodh Kerkar.

SAY CHEESE!
Drawing the attention of people from all ages, artistic sculptures at the park, like this little snail, have become props for photographs and selfies.
Cycling is surely a great leveller and it helped the female protagonist of Dear Zindagi to get a new perspective in life. The community park allows tourists to recreate some filmy moments.
