The city's garden
Jubilee Park is Jamshedpur's green centre, a large public garden Tata Steel gave the city in 1958 to mark its golden jubilee. It was laid out with the Brindavan Gardens in Mysore as a model, and it still has formal lawns, fountains and a rose garden. At its heart is Jayanti Sarovar, a lake where you can go boating. The Tata Steel Zoological Park and an amusement park sit alongside.
The laser and fountain show
An open-air laser and musical fountain show, one of the first of its kind in India, plays in the evenings on set days of the week. It tells the story of the city with water, light and music. Timings and days change, so check locally.
Founder's Day lights
For a few evenings around 3 March, Jamsetji Tata's birth anniversary, the park is filled with light installations and becomes the centre of the city's celebrations. Crowds are huge, entry is through specific gates, and vehicles are only allowed along a fixed route late in the evening. If your dates allow, it is worth planning around.
Everyday visits
Early morning is when the park belongs to walkers and joggers. Late afternoon into the evening brings families. Weekends and holidays are busy. The park is large, so wear comfortable shoes.
Nearby
The zoo is next door and combines naturally. Bistupur, with its cafés and restaurants, is a short ride away.
