Previously, I endeavoured to share a collection of photographs that illustrate the historical background of my city, referred to as "The City of Joy."

On the Steemit platform, we successfully presented my city through ten images. However, on Steem-Atlas, users can submit one PIN at a time. The inventor, @pennsif, has suggested that feedback be provided in the space below.👇

With the current structure of Steem Atlas, having the facility for multiple pins per post is not something we can add in for the time being.
It is better to make posts for individual places so that more useful information can be included.

I would like to present information;
and pictures of the first amusement park in my city, Kolkata.
That pursues a recent suggestion made to me!

In a prior post on Steem-Atlas, I provided a photograph of the park's entrance;
Nevertheless, today, I will include several images taken;
within the park itself.

To provide context,
I will briefly outline the park's construction history.

Rajive Kaul, an industrialist, visited Disneyland for a family vacation. Upon his return, he engaged in discussions with the late Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu and shared his plan to construct an amusement park.

With the collaboration of the state government, they initiated the development of the first amusement park in the city(13th October 1991), which has undergone various expansions since its inception.

I visited the Nicco park Pin Code: 700106 on 1st June 2022
As you can see, the date has been written in the entry pass!

I visited there with my older cousin's brother and nephew;
along with my nephew's friend, a total of four people.

The total entry fee paid in INR(for 4 people)
The total entry fee paid in Steem(for 4 people)
Rs.1200(rs.300 per person)97.35 Steem(24.34 steem per person)

Outside foods and alcohol are strictly prohibited within the park premises.

Nonetheless, there is a designated food court where visitors may order;
a variety of meals and soft beverages.

In addition to the food court, numerous food stalls are located throughout the park, providing an extensive selection of culinary options.

I not only found enjoyment in the rides but also appreciated the decoration of the sunflower garden that encircles the carousel ride.

I will elaborate on other experiences;
related to the park in the subsequent section of my writing.

Hopefully! You all enjoyed the information related to the park;
And the pictures that I conveyed today! It's just the beginning, and the excitement is still remaining, so stay tuned!

Hi @sduttaskitchen,

Thank you very much for contributing to the growth of #steem-atlas, and locating amazing places of India on the map.

This looks like a wonderful place to enjoy with family!

Anyway, when closely monitor the location, it looks like your pin location is not correct. It's a bit above your place. The correct one is what I have shown in the image. I have shared an image from Google Maps as well.

I guess it's here, near the Salt Lake Bypass.

Can you double-check it?

Thank you!
Best Regards!

The pin location is absolutely correct, @damithudaya. I don't believe in technology completely!
I am sorry, but I belong to Kolkata (India), so my knowledge of this place is very clear to me!

As you can see in the bill which I cited the pin code has been written!

I will not go to share further posts through Steem-Atlas because there are so many things that need improvement!

Best of luck to all those who find Steem-Atlas useful! I am not among them! This is ridiculous for me!

I know India is not familiar to me, but looks like a different location. I will double-check, may be my mistake.

I will not go to share further posts through Steem-Atlas because there are so many things that need improvement!

Oops! Sorry to hear about that! Well, Pensif and the team are trying a new initiative, and we always welcome new suggestions and ideas.

Best regards!
