Jubilee Park is an urban park located in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India.[1] It is a popular destination for all those who wish to have an outdoor picnic, enjoy some outdoor activities and games or even just to have a relaxing day out with friends and family.[2] Popular amongst joggers and cyclists, it is a gigantic park, recreation centre, fountains and a zoo, amongst other attractions.
This local attraction was opened to the public in 1958, on the occasion of the city's golden jubilee, the 50th anniversary of establishment.[3] This park was originally a gift to the town of Tatanagar(Jamshedpur) from the Tata Steel Company.
While being built under the visionary Jamsetji Tata, the Brindavan Gardens in Mysore were used as an inspiration. This park also shows off a status of Jamsetji Tata and is also known as the Mughal Gardens of Jamshedpur. The presence of the Tata Steel Zoological Park, Nicco Jubilee Amusement Park, Jayanti Sarovar(Zoo Lake), Bat Island, Children's Park, and Rose Garden is part of the reason why this park is such a famous one.
