The place is best to experience nature in Kolkata. Away from the hustle and typical crowd of the city, it prettily sits in the Dhakuria region providing views of breath-taking sunsets and shaded natural beauty. The place is where middle-class Kolkatans come to jog, walk, row or spend some time relishing the calm and quietude of nature. There is a tree-shaded parkland around the area mowed properly for meditators and recluse. Previously called as Dhakuria Lake, it is not only a great recreational destination in the city but dotted with children park and auditorium, is a great place to take children for a visit. If you are coming here in winter, you can even get to see the myriad migratory birds here.
