How was Eco Tourism Park Kolkata created :

In 2011, when Mrs. Mamata Banerjee became the Chief Minister of Kolkata and the entire West Bengal, she gave the idea of ​​creating an eco-tourism park near Newton in Kolkata, and the responsibility for the construction and design of this entire park was given to the west bengal housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation.

WBHIDC started this work in 2012 on the orders of Mrs. Mamata Banerjee and the design and construction of this park was completed by the end of 2013. The park was opened for visitors only in 2013. This exotic park has three main attractions, the first is the Open Garden, the second is the Eco Zone, and the third is the Theme Garden, and many other attractions have been installed in the park over time.

I want to give an example, when I visited Eco Park in 2014 there was no theme garden and then when I visited Eco Park in 2019 I was completely surprised to see that the seventh wonder was installed in the theme garden, including the Statue of Liberty, The Giza Pyramids and other great historical monuments are located.
