Sivaganga Park is a recreational park in the city of Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, India. It adjoins the Brihadeeswarar Temple, a popular tourist destination.
The Sivaganga Park was created as a people's park by the Tanjore municipality in 1871-72. [1] It is situated to the east of the 11th century Brihadeeswarar Temple and encompasses the Sivaganga Tank believed to have been built by the Medieval Chola king Raja Raja Chola. [1] In the initial days, the park was not maintained as the locality was overcrowded and ill-ventilated. [1] However, the park is fairly maintained now. As a part of the makeover operations in the lead up to the 1994 World Tamil Conference, motor boating facilities were introduced in the Sivaganga Tank. [2]
A toy train, motor boating facilities and a miniature zoological garden are located within the park. [3] The Thanjavur Municipal Library is also situated within the precincts of the park. [4]
