The gardens in Delhi are wonderful and continue a tradition started by the Mughals. The Lodhi Garden, the garden around Balban's tomb near Qutab and the Deer Park are haven in overbuilt Delhi.
If you're a sports lover, go to the Siri Fort complex. You'll get everything from a golf driving range to a shooting range.

Delhi has some really really beautiful parks. They are green, they are maintained and they are good for relaxing your stressed out eyes....especially in the winters when the weather is pleasant. Amazingly, bird watchers will be very happy to find quite a few birds around. Some of the parks worth visiting are Nehru Park, Lodhi Garden, Buddha Gyanti park (here u will find many love-birds also). But a word of caution ...watch out for your belongings as some of the park are also infamous for monkeys and run-away boys.
