Ambazari Garden

Ambazari Garden is an 18-acre public garden located beside Ambazari Lake on the southwest border of Nagpur, Maharashtra. Established in 1958 and managed by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation, it serves as a recreational space featuring walking paths, green gym equipment, and radio speakers playing soothing music. The adjacent lake, created in 1870 under the Bhonsle dynasty, was historically Nagpur's primary water source and remains the origin of the Nag River.

Visitors can expect a landscaped garden environment with paved strolling paths, open green spaces, and outdoor fitness equipment. The garden is situated next to Ambazari Lake, offering views of the water and surrounding mango trees. Boating facilities including rowboats and paddleboats are available on the lake. A children's play area is present within the garden grounds. Musical fountains and electric rides that previously existed have been discontinued.

The adjacent Ambazari Lake was created in 1870 under the Bhonsle dynasty and served as Nagpur's primary water supply for over 30 years, distributing water through clay pipes to government officials and notable citizens. The garden itself was established in 1958 on 18 acres of land beside this historic water body.

The name 'Ambazari' derives from 'Amba' meaning mango in Marathi, referencing the mango trees surrounding the lake. The site has transitioned from critical infrastructure to a valued recreational and ecological asset that addresses urban mental health needs by providing community connection with nature.
