Siliguri Children’s Park: Bringing Out the Child in You

Siliguri serves as the commercial hub of north Bengal and the gateway to the glistening Himalayas. One of the recreation options of this city of myriad attractions is the Children’s Park. Known as Surya Sen Park, the park with lots of greenery and fun and games options for children, is located in Mahakal Pally of the city. Just in the vicinity of the park, the Mahananda river flows away with its perennial charm, with Himalayas in the backdrop accentuating the ambience of serenity. The park has a bust of the noted freedom fighter Surya Sen, who gave away his life while fighting against the Britishers.

Today the legacy of his name is carried forward in this manicured green paradise for children, where the tiny tots can have a whale of a time and fresh air, along with their parents. The park not only has the potential to give some wonderful moments to the children, but can also bring out the long lost childhood among the parents. As you saunter through with your crowd of memories, while watching your children busy in merriment from the corner of your eye, the Bengali songs wafting through the air are likely to bring a sense of exhilaration to your jaded nerves and take you back to your times of youth… And you need not hurry for the fear of the descending twilight. In the evenings, fountains bloom with their liquid grace, and the park gets lit. And even the tall trees may whisper, “Welcome to Siliguri”.
