Central Park Jaipur Address: Prithviraj Rd, Rambagh, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302005, India
Built in 2006, the Central Park of Jaipur is the largest park with the longest jogging strip, which is also used as a walking track. The park was constructed by Jaipur Development Authority and is home to one of Jaipur’s most lush green hubs at the centre of the city with four entrance gates. The park was opened for public on 21st January 2006 after it was formally inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Srimati Vasundhara Raje Scindia.
When it comes to bird watching enthusiasts, Jaipur’s Central Park is the best choice for visitors as the park is a bird watcher’s paradise with several migratory as well as local birds making home in the gardens here.
There is a huge musical fountain that lights up around sunset and makes a prime attraction for visitors. The garden also has a couple of stone sculptures around. The Central Park becomes a day picnic place for families over the weekend.
The jogging strip here is 5 kilometres and people come for early morning walks and runs. There are early morning yoga sessions organised in the park every day. The park is spread across a total area of 129 acres and is maintained by the Jaipur Development Authority.
The major attraction of the Central Park is the 206 feet high National flag which is the highest flag post in India ever. The flag itself is 28 feet wide and 72 feet long. This is India’s first day and night monumental flag and the tallest tricolour in the country and looks magnificent during the night when the flag is washed in colourful lights.
The 13 stone statues beside the National flag resemble the hedges, if watched closely. They are placed in such a way that they represent the constellation of Capricornus. The statues are also one of the prime attractions of the park and are most photographed.
Since Central Park serves as a day picnic place for many locals, there are restrooms as well as clean drinking water facilities available for tourists and locals alike.
