The explosion happened outside Gulshan Iqbal Park, near the park’s parking lot, just outside the exit gate and a few meters away from children's swings.
The park was crowded because Christians are celebrating Easter holiday and many families were leaving the park when the blast occurred, according to senior police officer Haider Ashraf. He also said the death toll could still rise as many of the wounded were in critical condition.
Police said it was not clear whether the attack had deliberately targeted mainly Muslim Pakistan's small Christian minority.
Jam Sajjad Hussain, spokesman for Recuse 112, told Reuters most of the victims are women and children.
DawnNews reports there was little or no security present in the park area and around it.
An eyewitness, talking to DawnNews, said: “The park is huge and has many entrance gates. There was almost no security personnel present there.”
An emergency has been declared at all state hospitals in the city. Authorities are asking for blood donations because supplies are low.
Following the attack, the local government also ordered all public parks to be closed and announced three days of mourning in the province. The main shopping areas have also been shut down and many of the city's main roads are now deserted.
Facebook has activated its 'Safe Check' feature created to help track people after deadly incidents for Lahore.
Waqt News also reports the security personnel have surrounded the area and launched a search operation in and around the park, with rescue teams dispatched to the site.
The army was called in to control crowds outside the park, as some distraught relatives clashed with police and rescue officials.
Islamist militants in Pakistan have often attacked Christians and other religious minorities over the past decade, while Christians have accused the government of doing little to protect them.
Lahore is the capital of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's political heartland of Punjab, which is the country’s biggest and wealthiest province.
The religion of peace strikes again!
God, why are they so fucking peaceful Bros!?
Father, we come before you this afternoon, as we join a chorus of voices. Your Church in the nations of the Earth. Celebrating and declaring how great the reality of your Son, though crucified on the cross did not stay in the grave but rose again and now sits on Your Right Hand. And all authority on this Earth, and Heaven, and all the Universe belongs to Him. I am praying for your Church throughout the nations, that they will truly be filled with wisdom from Heaven and have an understanding of who you are. To see the fullness of Your Kingdom realized in their churches, in their cities, and in their countries. God, just now we hear about the terrorist attack against Your Church in Pakistan. Abba Father, I am asking You to continue to pour out Your Spirit onto the Church. Strengthening them in their inner man, filling their spirit, and understanding according to Your Word. That they will walk worthy, and they will walk holy. That they will give the hope of the gospel to those who hunger for the Truth. God, I am asking that you continue pour out your Spirit onto the Church, a spiritual insight, to see with Your Eyes. To walk according to Your Word. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
Please join us in prayer for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering from this terrorist attack: https://www.youtube.com/user/IHOPkc/live
