The
city
of
Kolkata
is
full
of
community
parks
and
gardens.
Amongst
the
many
gardens
in
the
city,
Citizenโs
Park,
which
is
situated
near
Victoria
Memorial,
is
surely
a
praiseworthy
effort
by
the
Kolkata
Municipal
Corporation,
to
make
the
city
appear
more
organized
and
beautiful.
It
was
inaugurated
by
the
eminent
politician
Mr.
Pranab
Mukherjee,
on
8th
May,
2005.
The
park
is
extremely
beautiful
and
well
maintained.
It
is
a
very
nice
place
for
spending
time
sometime
in
solitude,
amidst
natural
beauty.
At
dusk,
Citizens
Park
looks
extremely
beautiful,
due
to
the
colorful
lights
adorning
its
premises.
People
come
here
in
groups
for
jogging,
morning
and
evening
walks
and
small
get-togethers.
The
park
is
spread
over
an
area
of
about
11
acres.
It
is
very
famous
for
its
dancing
fountain
that
operates
every
evening,
at
the
time
of
dusk.
Citizen
Park
also
has
an
open
air
gallery,
some
military
hardware,
fighter
and
bomber
aircraft,
canons,
armored
vehicles,
and
tanks.
The
gallery
depicts
the
story
of
the
birth
of
Bangladesh,
from
Pakistan.
Hundreds
of
people
come
to
the
Citizenโs
Park
of
Calcutta
every
day.
Except
for
the
locals
who
come
here
for
jogging
and
walking
on
a
regular
basis,
the
majority
of
people
are
tourists,
who
come
to
visit
Victoria
Memorial
located
near
by.
People
also
come
here
after
watching
movies,
in
the
famous
'Nandan'
theatre,
which
is
situated
near
by
only.
The
area
is
well
connected
with
frequent
bus
service.
The
nearest
metro
station
from
the
Citizens
Park
is
that
of
Rabindra
Sadan.
So,
you
will
have
no
trouble
in
reaching
here.
