It is named after the former Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. It is one of the oldest parks in Hyderabad. It is a pleasant entertainment park for not only the tourists but also the people residing near the Park. The landscaping of Indira Park was very exceptionally planned and designed, without disturbing the natural elements already present in Park such as wild date palms, keuvda plantations and beautiful Sandalwood trees. The Park also homes fruit plants like mango, kala jamun (Indian Blackberry). There is also a canteen which stocks cool drinks and snacks in case anyone feels hungry. In 1994, computerized Musical Dancing Fountains and waterfalls, commercial nursery and rose garden were added as further attractions to enhance the beauty of the Park.
