Central Park, Salt Lake, Kolkata - Park in Kolkata - 24 Paraganas North, India

It is a large park situated in saltlake.. position is very good but not well maintained. Ticket price is 50 (>5 years old) per head and 300 for each dslr. Ticket price is high but you can't get any suitable washing room within the park area. even you can not get any shop within the premises. What a horrible situation... it is poorly maintain.

Quite a big park. Beautiful vegetation. Some sections aren't well maintained. Has ponds/lakes and sitting spaces beside. Entry fee - Rs50/head.. separate cost if you're bringing DSLR or other related equipment.

ticket is 50rs per head and extra for parking. but what for? the park is not maintained at all. The large water body is so dirty. And the crowd isn't decent too. I actually felt unsafe there.

Best place for you to see how lonely you are if u r single. You will be surely depressed seeing all the couples doing hakuna matata. If you are happy with your hand (for taking pictures of nature)and strong enough to be confident about yourself then you can go and explore.

A very good place for couple and family members too. It's really unbelievable to have a such natural place inside a city. You really can't believe that you are in saltlake. The ambience is too good. The price of entry ticket is Rs50. Overall you can spend some quality times with your beloved ones. I will suggest you to visit there once. Don't depend on Google map photos. I also saw the photos before reaching there,which were quite disappointed to me. But after reaching there I felt some different. Just go there without any hesitation.

Central Park situated in Salt Lake is a public urban park. It is also known as Banabitan. It is the second largest open space in Kolkata Metropolitan Area after the Maidan. It is a favorite hangout for lovers. This park is easily reachable from the Karunamoyee Bus Terminus in Salt Lake. Central Park metro station and depot of Kolkata Metro Line 2 are located here. On the roads surrounding the park are the buildings where the West Bengal government has relocated many government departments. The park is built around an expansive water body. There is a bridge which connects on side of the lake to an island which has a pagoda. The lake serves as a haven for water birds like lesser whistling duck, common moorhen, white-breasted waterhen, rufous treepie, cattle egret, cormorants and other species. There are also boating facilities in a cordoned off section of the lake near the rose garden. The park has a very beautiful rose garden (near Gate No.1, opposite of Bikash Bhawan). The rose garden is bordered by rows of hedges surrounding the rose plants. When in bloom, the rose flowers present a delightful sight. The park's butterfly garden has several species of butterflies. The butterfly garden consists of several plots where shrubs and trees on which butterflies and their larvae (caterpillar) feed, have been planted. Dedicated gardeners maintain these areas under the guidance of Nature Mates - Nature Club. The West Bengal Forest Dept. supports this initiative. The butterfly garden can be easily reached after entering the park from Gate No.1 and then taking a right from the main walking track.

This park is quite nice with water bodies around, the view is good and has lots of spaces to sit around. Went there for a morning walk, there are many different varieties of birds. Many photographer go there for bird watching.
