Hijli Eco Park

Hijli Eco Park is an eco-tourism park located in Hijli, Kharagpur, in Paschim Medinipur district, West Bengal, adjacent to the IIT Kharagpur campus. Developed as a green recreational space with a lake, wooded areas and landscaped gardens, it serves as a popular local getaway for nature walks, boating and picnics. The park offers a calm natural environment with boating facilities, children's play areas and birdwatching opportunities within an accessible urban fringe setting.

Visitors can expect a landscaped green park centered around a lake with pedal boating facilities, tree-lined walking paths, open lawns for picnics, and a children's play area. The setting is semi-forested with planted trees and gardens, offering spots for photography, birdwatching and relaxed nature walks. Basic visitor amenities such as seating, food stalls and parking are available near the entrance.

The park is located in the Hijli area, historically noted for the former Hijli Detention Camp from the British period, now commemorated by the nearby Hijli Detention Camp Museum. The eco park itself is a more recent eco-tourism and afforestation initiative developed to provide green recreational space near IIT Kharagpur.
