Why it matters
Why Amrabati Park is worth your time
Amrabati Park matters because Digha has few green, shaded places, and this one is a rare chance to sit by water that is not the sea. It gives families a gentler option for a hot or windy afternoon and provides a setting for something other than the beach.
It also shows how the resort has been built up with leisure attractions around the shore. The park, the science centre, the church and the temple make New Digha a base for a multi-day stay, rather than a day-trip place. For senior travellers in particular, a flat, shaded park with seating is often the most comfortable way to spend part of a hot day.

How to experience it
Amrabati Park is where Digha goes when the beach has had enough of you. It sits in New Digha, beside the Sindhur Tara church, and is arranged around a lake with paths, planted areas, boating and a ropeway. Reported timings differ between sources, so ask at your hotel before you go and plan for the cooler end of the day.
Take a slow loop of the paths first and sit by the water. If you want a boat ride, ask about the current rate and the boat's safety equipment before you board, and wear sandals that are easy to step in and out of. The ropeway and any rides are extras and may not run every day.
It combines well with the science centre and the nearby church. A day in New Digha could run from a sunrise walk on the beach to the science centre at midday, the park in the afternoon and the Jagannath temple in the evening.
Plan with confidence
Small decisions that make the visit easier.
- Ask your hotel for current hours before you go
