Nehru Park New Delhi — Attraction in New Delhi

A perfect park, a benchmark of sorts how public parks need to be, all thanks to its proximity to the embassies and the expatriates living in and around Chanakyapuri, including fair share of call out the Lutyens gang around.

All the government agencies collectively seem to put their best here, be it the horticulture dept or the ndmc or others playing their part in the background. The hardworking team of gardeners toiling day and night, caring for the nature. The overall outcome would surprises many dilliwalas, who tend to experience only the other end of the scale. It's a sort of Sunder Nursery, before the SN came into being a public celebration, 50 years later. Remember this park was inaugurated back in 1965 by then PM of India, Shri Lal Bhadur Shastri, the day was 25 Feb.

This green lung of Delhi spread across 80 acres, encompasses not just a wide spectrum of flora and fauna, but also provides balanced modern amenities for this visitors. Be it the accessibility, parking, free drinking water stations, working water sprouts, public urinals, sitting and resting arrangements, clean picnic spots, lake, fountains, smaller water bodies, meditation space, recreational spaces, open air Gyms, synthetic walkways, a sort of Burma bridge, even areas as huge as to host large public gatherings, events (miss the sufiyana nights and concerts here), the list goes on.

The multiple crisscrossing paths where one can enjoy both the beauty and serenity of nature, without disrupting or disturbing the natures way, using local rocks rather than overloading concrete structures, the trails at give the jungle feel at times, yet as secure as can be. Alone or in groups, day or late evenings all goes well here.

Given the facility and upkeep a must visit for everyone who enjoys open spaces, especially the parks, gardens, green areas. A must for kids and families day out. Experience it in all its flavour, be it summers, autumn, monsoons or the chilly winters of Delhi.

Nehru Park is one of the biggest and best-maintained public parks in New Delhi. So, if you’re looking for a lush space for a picnic, or a morning or evening stroll, we say you head over now.

Nehru Park is open every day of the week till 8 PM. It’s spread over 80 acres and has concrete pathways for you to get your jog on. You’ll also find two open-air gyms and, quite obviously, a whole lot of green space to stretch, exercise, and even play a game of cricket or football. What we also love is how accessible it is because of it being so central.

The park is also great to take your dogs for walks — they'll be ecstatic when they see all that open space, so brace yourself — but make sure to clean up after them and leave the park in a neat, clean condition.

Nehru Park also hosts a bunch of music and food festivals throughout the year, especially once the weather gets colder, so you should keep a tab our weekly events list. Some of the best events hosted here include the Jazz Fest, Palate Fest, NDMC Art Fest, HT Imagine Fest, Maggi Fest and more. However, if there’s no food festival in sight and you’re famished, run over next door to Yashwant Place for amazing momo and other Tibetan, Chinese, and Nepali food.
