Phool Bagh Park - Park in Kanpur - Kanpur Nagar, India

Basically it's good for timepass got a ticket @25 and enjoyed few plenty of minutes.

After renovation years back, it has been maintained well enough, with small ticket pricing, it is good enough place for family outings, though eating places are less as far as I remember it has only one food stall that too serves only soft drinks and chips.

It was a good place to visit but ticket didn't worth it why they are charging 17.46 Rs only for seeing trees and stones and yes also our national flag approx 150 ft. Long.

This is an iconic ground of Kanpur, located on Mall Road and adjoining Cantonment of Kanpur on one side, Ordinance Factory on other side, and posh shopping high street in front. This is spread over an area of more than 15 acres. Earlier, this park used to host Circus and Exhibitions and political rallies. However, as roads have become crowded and very limited space for parking, now the park has been developed into contoured Garden with fountains. The main building houses offices of District Magistrate and office of the Zone-1, of Water works of Kanpur municipal corporation is also located here.

Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Udyan / Phool Bagh (Hindi: gnnesh shNkr vidyaarthii udyaan / phuul baag', kaanpur ), earlier Queen's Park, is an urban city park in Kanpur, the industrial hub of Uttar Pradesh in North India. It has been the location for many public meetings and political rallies in Kanpur from the early twentieth century. Type Urban park Location The Mall, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India Created 1999 Operated by Kanpur Municipal Corporation Status Open all year During the reign of Queen Victoria in Britain, the park was named as Queen Victoria Garden. King Edward ruled Britain from 1901 to 1910. In 1876, as the Prince of Wales, he had been the first British royal prince to visit India on a state visit, after the control of India passed from the East India Company to the British Crown. During this trip to India, he had visited Kanpur as well. Gandhi Bhawan Edit European merchants who had settled in Cawnpore, felt the need for a European style amusement center in Cawnpore. On the death of King Edward in Britain, the hall was initially established as a memorial to commemorate his 1876 visit to Cawnpore and was named as K. E. M Hall. The funds for the park were collected from European traders settled in Kanpur and Indian merchants. The K.E.M. (King Edward Memorial) Hall was initially planned as a wooden dancing floor for Western style, ball room dancing. Due to outbreak of World War I in 1914, construction of the hall was interrupted. There was a regular hospital in Kanpur Cantonment for soldiers injured in the World War. As the facilities in this hospital were not adequate, the K.E.M. Hall was temporarily used to house wounded World War I British soldiers in the temporary hospital inside KEM Hall. The hall construction was completed after the end of World War I in 1918. It was used by European settlers in India for cultural activities. Occasionally it was rented to rich Indian merchants for marriage ceremonies. After independence in 1947, KEM Hall was renamed as Gandhi Bhawan. A part of this Gandhi Bhawan now houses a Municipal library and the Kanpur Sangrahalaya / Kanpur Museum.
