Chandra Shekhar Azad Park — also known by its former colonial name, Alfred Park — is the main civic garden of Allahabad, a large green space in the Civil Lines neighbourhood housing the Allahabad Museum, the Public Library, and various monuments. The park is named for the independence movement hero who died here in 1931, and his memorial within the grounds remains a place of genuine veneration.
The park is pleasant for a morning walk, particularly in the cooler months. The combination of colonial-era buildings, tree-lined paths, and the museum makes it a reasonable half-day destination for those interested in the city's history as much as its religious sites. In the evenings it fills with joggers, families, and students from the nearby university.
