One Day at Eco Park – Kolkata Newtown – Timing and Tickets

On 19th July, 2011, Honorable Chief Minister of West Bengal gets down to the water body by the side of the New Town M.A.R. on her way from the Airport.

With her vision of sustainable development, the 480 acres of land containing and surrounding the water body was declared to be converted into an ecological garden – the first of its kind in the Eastern region of India.

Subsequently, WBHIDCO initiated the process of developing this new dream called the ‘Eco Tourism Park – Prakriti Tirtha’.

About Eco Tourism Park

This Eco Tourism Park was inaugurated by the Honorable Chief Minister of West Bengal, on 29th December, 2012. Since 1st January, 2013, the Eco Tourism Park has been opened for the visitors. The park remains closed on all Mondays for maintenance.

The vision for the new Eco-Park at New Town embraces a holistic and systematic approach to sustainability that seeks to create a balance between ecological regeneration, resource conservation, and optimization with the need to create a recreational urban open space.

This approach offers an additional benefit as compared to traditional models for developing parks and urban open spaces – the chance to create a “living classroom” about nature’s service. Here, as the wet lands filter water and the plants filter air, people can come to relax or rejuvenate, socialize or seek solitude, as well as learn first-hand how the region’s flora and fauna are benefiting their city.

New Town’s Eco-Park, spread over a 480-acre area, presents an opportunity to create an urban community that values nature as an essential part of the quality of life. The inspiration and enjoyment that one gets from being close to nature cannot be denied. The benefits to physical and mental health are well known. However, such ecosystems provide cities with services that are critical to good urban functioning, which is even more important in an urban setting.

New Town Kolkata is a rapidly developing planned city on the eastern fringes of Kolkata. The master plan for New Town provides for a large number of open spaces and parks across the city ranging from small neighborhood parks to large city and regional level green spaces.

The Eco-Park in Action Area II of New Town is one of the largest open spaces in the city. The site is spread across an area of 194 hectares (480 acres) and includes a 42-hectare (200 acres) water body with an island. The Central Business District (CBD) is located to the east of the site and one of the largest convention centers in the country, Biswa Bangla Convention Center, has been built to its north.

Where: Action Area II, Rajarhat
Timings: 2:30pm – 8:30pm (Tuesday – Saturday), Noon – 8:30pm (Sunday and holidays). Monday closed.
