The Eco park of Kolkata 











 About 

On 19th July, 2011, Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, on her way from the airport, got down near the water body by the side of New Town M.A.R and the idea was born.


With her vision of sustainable development, the 480 acres of land containing and surrounding the water body was declared to be converted into an ecological garden – the first of its kind in the Eastern region of India.


This Eco Tourism Park was inaugurated by Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Smt Mamata Banerjee on 29th December, 2012. Since 1st January, 2013, the Eco Park has been opened for visitors. The park remains closed on all Mondays for maintenance.

The vision for the new Eco-Park at New Town embraces a holistic and systematic approach to sustainability that seeks to create a balance between ecological regeneration, resource conservation, and optimization with the need to create a recreational urban open space 


New Town Kolkata is a rapidly developing planned city on the eastern fringes of Kolkata. The master plan for the New Town provides for a large number of open spaces and parks across the city, ranging from small neighborhood parks to large city.

It reminds us of the days when one would get drenched in the rain while cycling their way home from school or tuition. Young couples would park their bikes and take shelter in roadside tea stalls, and enjoy piping hot cups of masala tea and fritters while waiting for the downpour to come to a halt. And the elderly in the house will heave a sigh of relief as the blistering humid weather cool down to a pleasant temperature. Indeed, the rise of the familiar petrichor - the muddy roads and blurry visions that the fierce Kolkata rains render - comes wrapped with a fragrance of nostalgia.
