Subhas Sarobar

Subhas Sarobar is an artificial lake and park complex in Beleghata, eastern Kolkata, West Bengal. Spread over about 73 acres with a large water body and surrounding green space, it was excavated in the 1920s by the Calcutta Improvement Trust and later named after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The site is a popular urban recreation area offering boating, walking tracks, gardens and open spaces for residents and visitors.

Visitors can expect a large artificial lake surrounded by a landscaped park with walking and jogging tracks, gardens, tree-lined pathways and open lawns. The lake offers row boating facilities, and the park includes children's play areas, seating areas and viewpoints over the water. The environment is that of an urban green space used for morning walks, leisure, photography and birdwatching, with food stalls and boating counters near the lake edge.

The lake was excavated in the early 1920s by the Calcutta Improvement Trust as part of urban development in eastern Kolkata. Originally developed as a reservoir and recreational lake, it was later named Subhas Sarobar after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

Named after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the lake and park serve as a major community recreation and leisure space for residents of Kolkata, hosting daily walkers, families and local gatherings.
