History
The Administration of
Ayub Khan approved the Hill Park in the mid of
1960's as there were not many recreational spots around the city during those days. Due to the location and structure of the hill in the midst of the PECHS Society, the authorities decided to built a park over there. The construction work started in
1968. And there was a small notice board, which read in Urdu:
Yahan hill park baney ga - Hill park will be constructed here.
During the 1960’s, before the Hill Park was developed, people from all over the city showed up, particularly students from local colleges and universities. In
1969 when the construction work completed, the park became lively and active. It turned into a picnic spot where people could spend some time to relax and enjoy with their friends and families. On Saturday and Sunday evenings the hill park swarmed with families. During the early days the park was also used for filming by the Television and film industry. Local businessmen also used it in the late evenings as a relaxation spot after a hectic days work. In the beginning there was a pond in the heart of the park with ducks swimming in it. The site was a major attraction for the children who spent time at the Hill Park during the 1960's. There was also an old movie projector that played classic Pakistani movies, for which you'd get your seats under a sea of sparkling stars. This was all during the Pre-VCR age when there wasn't much entertainment around the city. Later with the passage of time,
Meiraj Amusement Park developed in the eastern corner and
Shezan Restaurant in the west. And then someone opened a physical fitness center and a karate school behind the Mairaj Amusement park in
1973-74.
In early 90s, Hill Park saw the addition of one more park named "Ali Baba Theme Park", fast food centers and recently opened restaurants like the Oasis. 3 Coins is one of its most popular restaurant till this date. Despite the fact that today’s Hill Park has changed and has become a crowded spot, this fabulous park had been built in such a manner that one could still find the same calm and peaceful atmosphere of yesterday. It is a popular place for couples to meet up discretely.
