Nehru Park, Burnpur

Nehru Park is a green space located on the banks of the Damodar River, offering walking paths, children's play areas, and boating opportunities. The park spreads across a sizeable area designed to accommodate visitors of various ages.

The site was originally established as Riverside Park by a manager of the IISCO Steel Plant and was renamed in 1989 to honor India's first Prime Minister. This change marked a significant shift in how the location was recognized by the community.

The iron statue of Jawaharlal Nehru, cast at Kulti Works, stands as a centerpiece marking the hundredth birth anniversary of India's first Prime Minister.

The park is well laid out with clear pathways and easy to navigate, with designated areas for different activities. Early mornings or late afternoons are pleasant times to visit when it is cooler and less crowded.

From specific vantage points within the park, guests can observe the Biharinath hills across the Damodar River while spotting various bird species.
