Gandhi Park at Andaman Islands
– A Peaceful Retreat in the Heart of Port Blair
Located in the center of Port Blair, Gandhi Park is a charming blend of natural beauty, colonial heritage, and recreational space making it one of the most accessible and family-friendly attractions in the Andaman capital. What was once a water reservoir has been thoughtfully transformed into a scenic park with landscaped gardens, historical landmarks, and serene walking paths. Its quiet atmosphere and central location make it a perfect spot for a relaxed break amid your city exploration.
One of the park’s highlights is the preserved remnants of a Japanese bunker from World War II, offering a glimpse into the island’s wartime history. A peaceful lake sits at the heart of the park, with pedal boating available for visitors, especially popular among families and children. The Gandhi statue and the small children’s play area add both cultural and playful elements to the setting. Tree-lined paths, shaded benches, and flowering plants give the park a calm, well-kept ambience that's ideal for a morning stroll or an evening unwind.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet green space after visiting nearby museums, or simply want a local hangout to enjoy some leisure time, Gandhi Park is a convenient and enjoyable escape within Port Blair.
