Palai park, Protected park in Ramanathapuram district, India.
The park contains diverse plant species, natural trails, sand dunes, a pond, an oasis, and dedicated spaces for recreational activities across 25 acres of land.
Inaugurated in June 2015 by Chief Minister Selvi J. Jayalalithaa, the park represents a recent development in India's commitment to environmental preservation.
The name derives from the Palai landscape mentioned in Sangam literature, representing the dry ecological zones characteristic of Tamil Nadu's natural heritage.
Visitors can explore the nursery section, purchase horticultural products, and utilize facilities including a food court and children's play areas throughout the grounds.
This genetic heritage garden, one of two in Tamil Nadu, maintains a collection of indigenous plant species under the Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops.
