Located in the Pan Bazaar area of Guwahati, India, Nehru Park is an urban green space perfect for a relaxing stroll or a family outing. Established on land acquired from Christ Church, the park was originally opened in 2004 and named after Jawaharlal Nehru. It has since undergone a major revamp by the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority, re-opening with upgraded infrastructure and fresh modern features.
As you explore the grounds, you will discover a horticulture garden, a serene walking zone, lush lawns, and an artificial pond featuring a prominent Ashoka Stambha at its center. Culturally minded visitors can admire concrete sculptures depicting traditional Assamese dance forms—such as Bihu, Ojapali, and Jhumair—alongside a sculpture of former Chief Minister Gopinath Bordoloi and a showroom dedicated to indigenous cultural artefacts. Families will appreciate the dedicated children's playground, previous additions like a rock garden and simulator rides, and planned attractions including a toy train and rain shelter.
Complete with a water fountain, cafeteria, and a new northern entrance along Mahatma Gandhi Road, Nehru Park offers a refreshing outdoor retreat in the heart of the city.
