"Where there playgrounds are full of people, their hospitals remain empty"

Beautiful, historical, and memorable places have played vital role for visitors. The beauty and structure of places make a magic of attraction. Their power pulls people to visit such places again and again. As the fragrances of flowers attract people like that Municipal Stadium is centre of beauty and place of entertainment for the people of Larkano. 

Stadium has great worth. Its foundation stone was laid by Zulfiqar Bhutto Minister for foreign affairs government of Pakistan on 24^th March 1963. It took 3 years in construction. On 29^th May 1966 it was inaugurated by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Minister for foreign affairs government of Pakistan. After construction it was looked after under provincial authority. Building has no any provincial budget for its property. It is municipal's property. It covers area of 250000 sq ft. it has giant play ground where different games are arranged e.g. Cricket, Hockey, Football etc. 

All big events and national days are celebrated here like Independence Day, Sports day, Eid festivals and musical shows. In the morning dewy grass of stadium touches the feet of people when they walk in ground. There are 3 entrance gates. There is huge sitting area where probably more than two thousand people can be accommodated here. 

There is also a gymnasium behind the stadium people come here twice a day in morning and in the evening time. In 2009 Sindh games were also arranged here whose chief guest was Chief Minister of Sindh Qaim Ali Shah. In Sindh games all types of games were arranged and different teams from different cities of Sindh participated in Sindh games. Those were pleasant days for the people they came there to enjoy games with keen interest.
