#4 Opposite VUDA Park
VUDA Park is one of the most popular parks in the city. While the elders like to take a walk inside the park and toddlers love to play inside, the youngsters prefer the area outside where they can hang out with their friends during a typical Vizag evening.
#5 Tenneti Park
On most days and nights, Tenneti Park is the one place where people from all age groups in Vizag come together and is one of the best vantage points in the city to enjoy the sea.

For many AU alumni, this ground has been a vital part of their college life.
#7 Rushikonda Down
If there is a favourite hangout spot for AU students, there’s one for GITAM students as well. Right by the Rushikonda beach, there’s a long line of shops called Rushikonda Down or GITAM down where the students congregate in the evening and talk about all things college.
