The Jogging Track: Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia
‘Health is Wealth’ and most of us realize this when hit by some medical
issues. The doctor prescribes ‘exercise’ as medicine and you are at quandary –
what are you supposed to do? You choose the best possible option of walking or
jogging. You buy branded shoes and all set to begin with exercise. The moment
you hit the roads in the city or metros you realize the sound and air pollution
and most importantly the potholes. The road full of crests and trough, that leaves
no motivation for jogging. I am seized to complain about roads and situation we
have here in cities in India. Lack of gardens, jogging tracks or places we
could shake our legs. Place which will motivate and build that eagerness to go
out there every day.
During my stay at Melbourne, I head out for a morning walk and
ended up at the place called ‘Albert Park’. It’s like some good things happen in your life
without planning. I didn’t know the
background of Albert Park however realized it must be the best place to visit every
day, of course if possible. 
Albert Park is nearby Melbourne city adjacent to St. Kilda road. It
has a long beach façade which makes it stunningly beautiful. Interestingly, Albert
Park is also the venue for Formula One Australian Grand Prix. You see the park embedded
with superclass road Grand Prix circuits, sandy jogging track and golf court.
In case you get hungry you can go to Victoria Hotel located within the park at
one end. While you eat at Victoria Hotel, you can see dozens of small yachts sail around the lake. 
All trees within the park are numbered, placards with instructions for ‘no fishing areas’, needless to say neat and clean.
