Also known as Banabitan Biodiversity Park, this is one of the most famous parks in the city of joy, Kolkata. Abounded with a large variety of diverse floras, exotic migratory birds, gorgeous butterflies, fishes & a huge waterbody, this park is undoubtedly a paradise for nature lovers. This place is also popular amongst lovebirds, who come in huge numbers everyday. There is an entry fee of ₹40 per person, which I consider to be quite affordable, given the sensational natural environment and fresh oxygen, which you can treat yourself to, for excellent health. Highly recommended. 👍🏻

Central park is a nicely maintained park in the saltlake city.this place is best for nature lovers,bird watchers and also photographers.there are many trees inside you will feel like you are walking in the jungle.the lake is also very clean and the view is awesome.no entry ticket is needed in the morning,so one can visit in morning without any cost.peoples who stay nearby prefer this place for morning walks and yoga. Overall everything is good but the entry ticket is high.its rs 50 per adult.

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.

This is an awesome place to relax and do bird and nature photography. I went there with a friend during early morning in March to do bird photography and it was great. There were a lot of birds and a lot of greenery. The area is also huge and it gives a forest-like feel. The only drawback is that the lake is covered with algae and other vegetation and there is hardly any water left. Its a great place to practice bird, nature and macro photography.

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.

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.

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 ₹50. 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.❤️

It is very unkempt and has a derelict look with garbage strewn all around. The water body is choked 90% with unmitigated growth of water hyacinths. However, in spite of all that this park remains as the best alternative for the morning walkers of Salt lake.

Quite a big park. Beautiful vegetation. Some sections aren't well maintained. Has ponds/lakes and sitting spaces beside. Entry fee - ₹50/head.. separate cost if you're bringing DSLR or other related equipment.

It's a nice little park with lots of animals and birds roaming about. There is a great view of the wetlands with a boat you can take photos in. There's also plenty of benches to sit down and relax. Underneath all the trees is cool and relaxing and it helps you feel more connected to nature. When nature calls I felt the bathrooms were nice and clean. The only negative thing I found are the random guys who walk around and watch couples and women. They're so creepy

Full of greenery and birds, this park situated at heart of the saltlake adjoining to karunamoyee. Metro rail has a stoppage named central park. This area surrounded by government office. Book fair also took place here.

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.

Great place to Hangout. ❤️😀 couple friendly atmosphere. Natural Beauty. Fish in pond . Maintenance required more a bit. Visitors have thrown away plastics bottles cans packets here and there .

Nice place for photography.Washrooms are clean.Well maintained garden.Plenty of trees and colorful flowers.

Nice place for bird watchers to take some local common bird photos.

Huge park. Lots of trees and water bodies. Most of the water bodies are covered with hyacinth. Cleaning seems to have started. Trees which had fallen during cyclone amphan in Apr 2020 are still down. Work on clearing has started. crowds of walkers, yoga enthusiasts etc throng in the mornings nowadays. I understand entry till 7 am is free. Tickets after that. But there was nobody at the ticket counters even at 0740. Notices pasted there are a year old. Saw more than one entry gate. The gates are newly constructed. Will post more as I explore the park. Update. The entry to the park is free till 10 am. After that they charge a ticket fee of Rs 40. Many flowering trees are in full bloom now. The only problem here in the mornings is crowds of homo sapiens. Some of them prefer loud music while walking. Others strew around plastic packets with gay abandon. There are spots where burning of rubbish is taking place. Hope the authorities take action against this polluting practice. In spite of all this, there are serene spots where people meditate or one can just sit and take in the wonderful atmosphere. There are trees which fell during the cyclone last year. They are still in the fallen state and thriving and providing support to other plants and animals. It's a unique situation- a replication of what nature would be without human intervention.

Needs better maintenance. Morning 6an to 8am entry is free after that it's chargeable. It's a biodiversity hotspot with many bird & insects species. Nice for a walk and unwinding. Hope the authorities restore the park.

Central Park is in Salt Lake near Karunamoyee Bus stand. Every year the famous Kolkata Book fair held here. Thousands of people come here during the fair every year.

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.

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.

Best place for Couples. Entry fees 50 ₹ per anum, which is quite high. Park is well maintained but, the crowd isn't decent too. I actually felt unsafe there.

This is Best Place For Couple.This is Only Couple Related Park

Nice place surounded by plenty of trees which are the shelters for various types of birds

Good Place.

Formerly it was MccPTA now management was changed & taken over by Chatterjee group. Well maintained , neat & cleaned factory at Haldia.

This chemical company renamed as MCPI PVT LTD

I was missing to walk there during lockdown. Simply love the morning walk in the Central Park, Salt Lake

Breather in the city. Better than many of the parks of other cities. Just glimpse in morning aura is visible in these attached photos.

It's beautiful, greenery. There has a small lake, in summer the air is so breezy. If you want to spend some private moment with your dear one, then this is a place!

Very beautiful natural beauty is there. Massive place in this park. Lake also available there. Many plants are in there. Winter season is a very mesmerising. Rose 🌹garden are very beautiful.

It was open till 1st January 2022. But it's closed now I think. Ticket is Rs.20/head. Awesome place to unwind with your loved one. Recommend to hire a piece of plastic sheet from outside so that you can sit anywhere without spoiling your pants.

This a big and beautiful park near Salt Lake Karunamoyee. It just walking distance from Karunamoyee. Entry ticket is now Rs 50 for adults and 20 for kids. Ticket fare is little high... But after watching the park you will not regret. An unknown place in Salt Lake. But must visit. There are Huge variety of trees... Lots of lakes inside. The timing is now 10 am to 5pm.

Quite big park for exhibition, fairs and big gathering . Easy accessible and prominent area. Metro rail, Bus, taxi cab, Auto and motor rikshaw are available to reach or return from park.

Best place and my favourite place... I just love to visit here during various occasion... Nicely maintained. Everyone Must visit, specially for fair and functions.

Heart of Salt Lake city. This is a type of Botanical Garden many rare species of tree can be found huge waterbody makes the place so atractive.

Now not cleaned properly but good

Nothing special I have my school near Central park so I want to confess that Central park is the worst

It was nice experience to walking in this park. The area is very big to walk or jogging. The environment is nice to spend some nice time. You need a small amount of money to enter the park but it’s worthy. I think the best time to go there is evening time as you can enjoy sunset. You will be able to see many birds and trees as well.

Place is serene, lots of parking space, open air ,neat and clean. U can spend leisure time here.

The maintenance of this park has sadly deteriorated very badly. The flower beds are not properly configured. There are very few plants. The ground is dirty.

Bestest love couple place ♥️

Excelent places

Indeed I liked the biriyani 🔥 but the place is quit crowded even in corona period. But the staff are helpful. You get your order within 10-15 minutes. Must try

It is at a convenient place within the outskirts of kolkata.

It was once the pride of Salt Lake residents, with fully functional exhibitions of butterflies, migratory birds, different plants. The fountains and other water bodies are now in a state of disuse. People have no sense of privacy here, you are stared at constantly if you are having an intimate time with someone. New gates are being built but the maintenance and upkeep of the main park is urgently needed.

Especially the birds

Located in the heart of Salt Lake City

Went here today and felt it is no more the well maintained park it used to be back to 2006, in my college days.But I would say it is still quite a clean park in salt lake where people can unwind away from the hustle bustle of the city.The plants and creepers have grown carelessly in many places (I don't mind as it gives natural vibe to the place).The waterbody is clogged completely by hyacinths. However unlike other parks it still have many large old trees that will still soothe your eyes and it is a nice weekend escape. If you have kid , just outside the park there is a children's park well equipped with children's swing , monkey bar ,slide etc.

Nice👍👍😊😊

Poor maintenance

Worst park in kolkata. They don't maintain the place properly. Not recommended for family visit.

Good for couples only

Central Park is not in good shape. Unhindred growth of tall grasses, bushes, lake fully covered with halycinth. Snakes are everywhere. Park urgently needs maintenance.

Good place but unfortunately I can't entry into the park due to CIVID19

A big park at the heart of Salt Lake, Kolkata. Maintained by Forest Department, the diversity of trees and birds are noteworthy. Used for morning walk by local citizens, photoshoot by youths and angling by hobbyists the park has something for everyone.

This is a large nature park created on the marshlands. Lots of trees, flowering plants, and birds. Be aware of the crows, they are exceptionally bold and can easily open unattended bags.

Bery nice place for morning walk in the heart of the city.the natural greenery gives breather .however needs mentainence as it was neglected during covid period

Cleanliness & maintenance is very poor since last lockdown, no grass cutting.

Excellent place for couples and also roaming around.. The lake place is also good and nice picnic spot in winter❄

Water body is in wreck. Ground work demarcations and footpaths needs maitinance. Nice biodiversity though. If water body is properly maintained the fishes would atrract migrating birds.

This park is located opposite side of the Bikash Bhawan. It is the new address of the world famous Kolkata book fair.Landscape of the park is beautiful.You can enjoy this park with your partner.

Park is good specially for couples but there are some aged and mid aged men who are roaming all around the park and peeping over the couples.

Great place where notable fairs of Kolkata like Book Fair, Hastashilpa Mela takes place!

It is a park full of lavish greenery. This park is ideal for morning walkers . This is near Central park metro station. This is ideal for photoshoots . Cameras are chargeable inside here . ⚠️This place is not for children. This is a couple friendly park specifically. Gardens are maintained and have toilets inside.

Good place with lots of trees and big ponds and places to sit and do your morning yoga under the shade of the numerous trees there. Main point of contention...they charge Rs10 for even morning walk which seems unreasonable given that public parks are built with our tax money. Moreover, the maintenance is not upto standards.. the water bodies have water hyacinth and others covering them up...the rose garden patch is overgrown with weeds etc

It's a very beautiful palace... Is place is full of trees.... You can see different types of trees 🎄 🌴 🎄...I also say that it's a couple's park... Many couples come here to spend quality time with their loved ones... Beside also many people comes here for photo shoot or shoot short film etc...❣️recently... I saw that many forest officers of West Bengal came to see the atmosphere and the condition of the trees ..so much visit and enjoy yourself ☺️
