mere
1.
8
km
from

and

by

The

is
renowned
among

alike
for

Jai
Prakash
Udyan,
also
known
as
the
Sandish
Compound
among
the
locals,
is
the
largest
park
in
the
whole
city.
The
park
is
spread
over
an
area
of
almost
41
hectare
or
307
bighas.
This
huge
field
consists
of
a
botanical
garden,
an
outdoor
stadium,
a
huge
park
and
much
more.
The
park
is
a
paradise
for
outdoor
game
lovers
and
especially
cricket
enthusiasts
because
of
its
huge
outdoor
playground.
There
is
a
special
outdoor
Badminton
court
made
for
professional
players
but
casual
players
can
also
enjoy
this
facility
without
any
restrictions.
Other
than
that,
there
is
also
a
Tennis
court
and
an
open
gym
in
the
park
accessible
free
of
any
charge
to
all
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
Bhagalpur.
There
is
a
special
playground
for
kids
in
the
Park.
The
Park
is
cleaned
on
regular
bases
and
to
maintain
cleanliness
several
dustbins
have
been
installed
in
the
park.
In
1979,
the
facility
of
boat
rides
was
started
in
the
western
side
of
the
Jai
Prakash
Udyan
for
the
entertainment
of
Park-goers.
But
the
service
came
to
a
halt
just
after
two
months
and
hasn't
been
started
ever
since.
The
bridge
located
over
the
park
adds
to
the
natural
beauty
of
the
park
and
offers
a
great
view.
There
is
a
Watch
Tower
and
Radar
installed
inside
the
park.
Jai
Prakash
Udyan
offers
an
escape

make
it
look
like
a
real
beauty
of
nature.

and
in

evening
with

for

and
other

playing
various
sports
in
the

and

in
this
beautiful
park.
Little

come
with
their
families
for
picnics
in
the
vast
open
spaces
of
the
park
and
also
enjoy
the
various

in
the
children
playground.
During
