Where Millennium Park sits on the riverfront
Millennium Park occupies a stretch of Kolkata’s Hooghly riverfront between Vidyasagar Setu and Howrah Bridge. It lies on the river’s eastern shore, opposite the Railway Club and near Fairlie Ghat.
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation gives the address as “On the Strand Road near Babughat.” It identifies the park as extending from Babughat to Kadamtala, in Borough V, Ward 45. The long riverside location makes the park a clear point of reference for exploring this part of the city’s waterfront.
The park was created as a millennium gift from the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority and inaugurated on 26 December 1999. Its 2.5 km length gives the riverfront space a substantial footprint along Strand Road.
What can you see along the park and promenade?
Millennium Park combines landscaped green space with views along the Hooghly. West Bengal Tourism describes greenery, gardens, trees and plants among its features, as well as slides and swings for children.
You can pair the riverside stop with a broader central-city itinerary; a one-day route through central Kolkata gives that visit a wider city context.
The park’s ghat is a departure point for government and private cruises. These travel along the Hooghly past Kolkata heritage landmarks.
If a river crossing is part of your plans, planning a Hooghly ferry crossing is a separate consideration from taking a cruise from the park.
What are Millennium Park’s hours, and what should you check?
