Technically Picnic Garden is a locality in the Tiljala area, extending between Bartala More and VIP Nagar. For all practical purposes and in popular parlance, Picnic Garden refers to the area east of the Bondel Gate, off Ballygunge Place.
Transport
Buses ply along Picnic Garden Road and Chandra Nath Roy Road (C.N. Roy Road) in Picnic Garden.[3]
The auto-rickshaws running in three routes bring the important crossings of Ballygunge Phari, Gariahat and Park Circus within easy reach.
The construction of the Bondel Gate Rail Overbridge above the Kolkata Suburban Railway (Sealdah South Section), between Picnic Garden Road and Bondel Road, completed in 2006 after a long legal wrangle over land dispute, has eased up much of the traffic congestion. The proposed widening of Picnic Garden Road and G. S. Bose Road is yet to take place.[4]
