Central Park, constructed by the Jaipur Development Authority is the largest park in Jaipur, India. It is located, as its name suggests, in the centre of Jaipur city. Having a big lush green beautiful garden and Rambagh Polo Ground and golf club nearby makes it an enjoyable place in Jaipur.
Central Park Garden also has a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long jogging and walking track.[1] A number of migratory and native birds visit the park during the year.
Central park has a 269 feet (82 m) high first day and night monumental national flag with the flag of 28 feet (8.5 m) wide and 72 feet (22 m) in length. It is the largest tricolour in the country.[citation needed]
A musical fountain, a temple and stone statues are some of the attractions in the park.
