Name:	Kamla Raheja Park/Aeroplane Park
Description:	Lots of nice structures for beginners' practice. The nice thing about this place is its easy accesibility for all those from the western suburbs. You can pretty much do everything here as well, if you're short on time, and don't wish to travel much. Check out the attached pictures, and video tour for details. Please note, there is a nominal entrance fee of Rs. 1 (as of Oct, 2007) for a one-time entry to the park. Also the park is open only in the mornings and evenings, and closes down in the afternoon. I am not sure of the timings.
Address:	Link Road, Santacruz (W). Located at the junction of Link Road, and the winding road (Juhu Tara Road) that comes up from Juhu Chowpatty. Near SNDT College.
Getting There:	Walk straight down to S.V. Road from Santa Cruz Stn, take a right, walk untill you come to the Standard Chartered Bank building. Take a left turn there, and walk straight down westwards, till you reach the beginning of the Link Road. The park is at the junction. If you walk straight down the road from the junction along the path you were walking, instead of stopping at the park, you will reach Juhu Tara Road.
Heat Level:	5
Heat Level Description:	The guards there do not bother to stop you, and neither do the people visiting the park give you ugly stares or anything, so the heat level is pretty low. Climbing the plane is not allowed, and the guards will start to breathe down your neck the minute you try. One of the guards once told me that climbing the trees there was not permissible either, but the next time, I bribed the (this time new) guard before entering, and he was cool about us climbing the trees. Climbing the plane is still not permissible, unless you go there before 6 am, before the ticket counter guy shows up, provided you've bribed the guards. Climbing everything else is permissible, and you shouldn't get into any trouble. Update - Don't try to scale the toilet without the presence of one of the NUTs, the people there do not like it when someone goes up there.

Raising the heat level for the G-Spot. An 8-year old child was killed yesterday when a damaged section of the aeroplane (on which a lot of pkmum traceurs used to irresponsibly practice despite being told by the authorities of the damaging effects) fell on him when he was playing below it. Thankfully no tracuers were involved. Read the related news article on the news section of the site for details.

All traceurs are advised to avoid this hotspot for quite some time.
Beware - if you go there before it has cooled down you are either likely to be kicked out with hostility, or handed over to the authorities for investigation, or both. Doesn't matter if you don't go near the plane, the entire hotspot is likely to be quite hot for traceur activities.
