Central Park

Central Park is Jaipur's largest urban park — a 60-hectare green space in the C-Scheme neighbourhood laid out after 1995 around the Rambagh Polo Ground and Statue Circle, with jogging paths, lawns, a musical fountain, and the world's highest tricolour Indian flag (a 206-foot flagpole erected in 2017 that dominates the skyline). The park is where Jaipur's middle class walks, jogs, and picnics, and on winter afternoons it fills with families flying kites — Rajasthani kite culture is centred on the Makar Sankranti festival in January.

The Polo Ground is still used for matches during the winter polo season (November-February), and the Rambagh Polo Club (India's oldest polo club, founded 1900) has kept the sport central to Jaipur's elite identity since the 19th century when the Maharaja's team routinely defeated British Army and Mumbai clubs.
