When Kolkata's parks are at their best

Most of the parks below peak between November and February — cool mornings, low pollution, the gardens at their floral peak. The summer months are best avoided between 11 AM and 4 PM; sunrise visits are still magical. Monsoon (June–September) is unpredictable but the green takes on a saturation you can't see otherwise.

Running and walking

Kolkata has a handful of parks with dedicated jogging loops — typically 1.5–3 km, well-marked, well-lit at dawn and dusk. The serious runners' parks are listed first. Most allow dogs (on leash); a few have specific dog parks within them.

Picnics and access

Picnicking is permitted at most public parks in Kolkata but private gardens and conservancy sites usually aren't picnic-friendly. Entry fees are nominal where applicable. Toilet facilities are inconsistent — assume basic and you won't be disappointed.
