Campal Gardens

Panaji


The road to Miramar from Panaji runs through the Campal district. Just before you reach the Kala Academy are the strollable riverside Campal Gardens, also known as the Children’s Park. The gardens offer a nice view over to Reis Magos Fort and the boats that cruise along the Mandovi River each evening.
