The Patuli Lake Side Park, or Patuli Jheel Park as it’s more commonly referred to, is a green stretch that runs alongside the busy Eastern Metropolitan Bypass in Kolkata’s Ward 101. Enveloped in trees and bushes bearing seasonal flowers, the park sees droves of morning and evening walkers

The opposite side has a quiet serenity. Although the stretch is mostly residential. a few small businesses dot it – a preschool, a Chinese street food joint and a Bangladeshi restaurant.
The main attraction of the Patuli Lake Side Park is the scenic body of water that separates the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass from the residential localities of Patuli. The picturesque lake adds a certain tranquility to the locality – making it a sought-after spot for an evening stroll and photo-ops
