Chetpet Eco Park

The Rs 42 crore project was inaugurated by Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa through video conferencing on Saturday, 27th Feb'16 and is already panning out into a stress-busting destination par none.

Entry Fees: Rs 25 for a single adult and Rs 10 for a child.

Those planning to make use of the 1.5 km walkway regularly could purchase a monthly pass for Rs 200. Or a half yearly one for Rs 1,000 and a yearly pass for Rs 2,000. As evidenced by the excited murmurs and selfie taking youngsters hanging around the jetty, boating and fishing are novelties, visitors are willing to shell out money — Rs 50 for a boat ride and Rs 300 for angling.

The lake has been seeded with a wide variety fish. For those eager to learn fishing, training facilities have also been instated with instructors. The fishing area is also separated from the hustle and bustle of the large park complex.

The park also has an amphi-theatre, food zone serving pastries, puffs, tea,coffee, chaats, ice creams, water, popcorn etc and a seafood mobile van, 3D movie hall and a children’s play area. All these will be open to the public between 9 am to 8 pm, all days except Tuesday. Walking pass holders can enter the park from 4.30 am.
