Millennium Park is a public park in Kolkata, situated along the Strand Road on eastern shore of Hooghly River for a stretch of 2.5 km, near Fairlie Ghat opposite to the Railway Club. The park consists of landscaped gardens and children's amusement rides.[1] It was opened along the Hooghly shoreline to provide a green area for Kolkata's polluted waterway. It was inaugurated on 26 December 1999 as millennium gift from Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority.[2] The park is a part of the first phase of the Kolkata Riverside Beautification Project.[3]
