NTR Gardens, Park in Hyderabad, India

NTR Gardens is a public park along the shores of Hussain Sagar Lake with fountains, manicured lawns and paved paths under large shade trees. Several themed sections display different plant species, from tropical palms to dry vegetation from desert regions.

The land was cleared in 1995 after the Hussain Sagar Thermal Power Station was demolished. In 1999, 2 hectares of the 22-hectare plot were used for a memorial to N. T. Rama Rao, former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, inaugurated by N. Chandrababu Naidu. Work on the gardens began in January 2000 and was completed in 2001 at a cost of ₹400 million.

The name honors a prominent regional politician and film actor whose legacy remains visible in the city's public spaces. Families gather on weekends for picnics under the trees or to eat and play together on the open lawns.

The main entrance sits near the lakefront promenade and is easy to reach from the inner city roads. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as the paths stretch across a wide area and some sections lie in full sun.

One section displays cacti and succulents from dry climates not normally seen in this region. A restaurant stands on stilts among the branches, resembling a traditional treehouse.
