About Eco Park in New Town
Eco Park, formally Prakriti Tirtha, is a large planned park in New Town, the township east of Salt Lake. It opened in 2012 and is counted among India's largest urban parks. The layout is simple: open lawns, a central lake and themed zones along wide paths. Families come for the space, cyclists for the loop roads, and photographers for the late afternoon light on the water. It is a modern counterpoint to the colonial set pieces of central Kolkata. The park is a change of scale from the rest of the city. Instead of narrow lanes and old masonry there are broad paths, mown grass and open sky, with the towers of New Town visible beyond the trees. Entry is ticketed, and a few inner zones carry a separate charge, so check at the gate. Expect to walk a fair distance between sections, and note that shade thins out at midday in summer. Boat hire and replica monuments round out one of the simplest family outings in Kolkata.
