Park Street
Park Street is an avenue and transport hub in central Kolkata that accommodates multiple forms of movement including pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It functions as a key thoroughfare connecting different sections of the city while supporting public transit operations.
The street developed during British colonial times as a major transport route and retained its name from a park that shaped the urban landscape. It has remained a central reference point in Kolkata's geography and infrastructure since then.
The street takes its name from a park that once existed on this site, and today it serves as a vital social gathering point in the city center. People come here to stroll, shop, and experience the dynamic energy of the area.
The street is easily accessible on foot and offers multiple ways to navigate the area or use public transit. It's best to explore this route during daytime hours when traffic is more manageable and the surroundings feel active.
The street is known for blending historical architecture with modern urban activity in a tight, walkable space that reveals layers of the city's past. Close observation of older building details shows traces of how this area once functioned and evolved.
