Jubilee Park, one of the oldest and famous landmarks in Jamshedpur, has restricted the entry of vehicles in view of rising cases of accidents due to rash driving, especially in late evening, and excess movement of anti-social elements therein.
As per the decisions taken there will be no vehicle movement inside the iconic Jubilee Park on Sundays for convenience of visitors inside the park.
Moreover, both the entry and exit gates of the park will closed by 8.00 pm (Monday to Saturday) and no vehicular or public movement will be allowed 8.00 pm onwards inside the park. No vehicles will also be allowed on the road passing through JN Tata Statue - Mughal Gardens - Children Park – Nicco Amusement Park at any time.
An official of JUSCO, a civic provider company, said Jubilee Park is a rare one in the country where vehicle movement is allowed inside the park. However, in recent times, the park has been witnessing number of accidents due to rash driving, especially in late evening, anti-social movement and an imbalance in the ecological framework.
“Use of loud music, burning of crackers, etc, which cause disturbance to animals in the zoo, have already been stopped within the Jubilee Park. In order to further improve ecological, security and socio-cultural framework within the park, from December 1 it has been decided to introduce additional changes in day-to-day operations of the park.
He said the park which also has the famous Mughal Garden and Fountains, Nicco Amusement Park and Zoo, has been playing a significant role in facilitating leisure activities for the citizens of the steel city and at the same time acting as a health centre for morning walkers.
Moreover no new bookings for picnic or functions inside the park, like zoo picnic spot and all the parks and gardens picnic spots will be available from December 1, however the bookings made earlier to this decision will be entertained.
A gift to the citizens of Jamshedpur by Tata Steel on the occasion of its golden jubilee in 1958, the 237.75- acre jubilee perk, modelled after Brindavan Gardens in Mysore, is considered the ‘green heart’ of the city. Its breathtakingly beautiful Mogul Garden with its coloured fountains attracts evening visitors by the hundreds. And the more naturally contoured lake area is a popular picnic spot. The park’s horticultural garden is renowned for the rose hybrids it has developed and christened with intriguing names like “Taxi” and “Pioneering Pilot”. Altogether over 1000 varieties of Indian roses greet the visitor in the Jubilee Park. The lovely lake in the Jubilee Park is one of the main attractions as one gets to see various rare migratory birds. There is a “Smriti Udyan” where one can plant saplings in the memory of a special occasion or a loved one. It also has an amusement park which has a number of water games and roller coasters built on the lines of Nicco Park in Kolkata.
