Paliwal Park

Paliwal Park is a large historic public park located in the Civil Lines area of Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Originally developed during the British period as Hewitt Park, it was later renamed after Shri Krishna Paliwal. Spread over about 70 acres, it features landscaped gardens, a lake, walking tracks and a children's play area, and serves as a major green recreational space for residents and visitors in central Agra.

Visitors can expect a spacious urban park with manicured lawns, tree-lined avenues, paved walking and jogging tracks, and a central lake. The park includes open green areas for picnics and relaxation, a dedicated children's park with play equipment, seating areas, and food stalls near entrances. It is used primarily for morning walks, jogging, leisure strolls and family outings in a relatively quiet, green environment within the city.

Paliwal Park was developed during the British colonial period and was originally named Hewitt Park after Sir John Prescott Hewett, Lieutenant Governor of the United Provinces. After independence it was renamed in honour of Shri Krishna Paliwal, who was the first Finance Minister of Uttar Pradesh. It remains one of Agra's oldest and largest planned public parks.

The park serves as a major recreational and social gathering space for residents of Agra, used for daily fitness activities, family outings, and informal cultural gatherings. It is a well-known green landmark in the Civil Lines area and a longstanding leisure destination for the local community.
