Eco Park is a good place to get free air out of the crowded environment of Kolkata city.  You can come to Eco Park to have a good time with family or friends.  This park is not just a normal park.  Its size is so large and it has so many sections inside that many people cannot visit the whole park in one day.  The very beautiful and well-planned decoration of the park has always captivated the minds of the townspeople.  It is the biggest urban park in India and occupies over 475 acres of land.

The idea of ​​an eco-tourism park in Kolkata was proposed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.  HIDCO - West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation, in collaboration with several departments, has started construction of an eco-tourism park in Kolkata.  The park has three main parts - the ecological zone, the park and the recreation area.  Suitable rides or activities are available in each area.  You can enjoy everything as you wish.  There are also cottages and conference halls in the park, which can be rented for personal or business purposes.  Inside the park, each part is arranged in different themes.  A brief description of it is as follows-

Butterfly garden:

Here you will see many species of butterflies in a huge dome.  The dome basically controls the temperature inside.  Inside the dome are many trees ‌ and an artificial pond চোখে that help butterflies live in a more natural way.  This butterfly garden in Eco Park is an ideal place to see butterflies.

Mask garden:

This garden is decorated with masks collected from different parts of the world.  This garden has been created under the absolutely open sky.  There is a variety of masks in different parts of the world according to the art, culture and life style.  Here you will have the opportunity to see all those varied masks.

Tea Garden:

As we all know, tea trees cannot be cultivated wherever we want.  Tea is mainly grown in hilly areas.  The topography, soil and climate are suitable for tea cultivation.  But Eco Park authorities have shown tea cultivation on the plains.  However, the risk was not less pohate.  This place has been made suitable for tea cultivation by bringing soil from a hill station called Dwars in West Bengal.  A toy train station has been built next to this garden.  In other words, every effort has been made to give the audience the feeling of a hill station.

Seven Wonders:

We all know about seven wonders of the world.  Kolkata now has its own and personal Seven Wonders of the World!  The creative city of India has actually gone ahead and created replicas of famous wonders of the world such as the Taj Mahal, Great Wall of China, The Lost City of Petra, and Colosseum, among others.  Covering 480 acres of land in the Eco Park, this tourist attraction is one of a kind.

Rose Garden:
