Eco Park

Eco Park, officially Prakriti Tirtha, is a 480-acre urban park in New Town, Kolkata, West Bengal, developed by the West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (WBHIDCO). Inaugurated in December 2012 and centered around a large water body, it is considered one of India's largest urban parks. It features themed zones including replicas of the Seven Wonders of the World, Japanese Forest, Butterfly Garden, Mask Garden and extensive landscaped areas combining ecology and recreation.

Visitors can expect a large landscaped urban park centered on a 104-acre water body with islands. The park offers themed gardens, tree-lined promenades, lakeside views, and replica monuments of the Seven Wonders. Areas to explore include Japanese Forest, Butterfly Garden, Bamboo Garden, Mask Garden, Rose Garden, and Heliconia Garden. Activities include boating on the lake, cycling on dedicated tracks, toy train rides, and walking along eco-trails. Food courts, picnic spots and children's play areas are spread across the campus.

Developed by the West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (WBHIDCO/HIDCO) as part of the planned New Town township, Eco Park was inaugurated on 29 December 2012. Conceived as an eco-tourism park, it was created to conserve the existing wetland and water body while providing a large-scale recreational and ecological space for the city.

Serves as a major recreational and leisure hub for Kolkata and New Town, hosting seasonal fairs, cultural events and family gatherings, and showcasing themed gardens that reflect diverse horticultural and artistic traditions.
