K.D.Paliwal Park also known as Hewitt Park is located in the heart of Agra, India. It is spread over an area of around 70 acres (280,000 m²). Kd Paliwal Park, one of the top attractions in Agra, is where visitors go to unwind and spend some quiet time in a peaceful environment. It attracts a lot of tourists every day because it is situated in the centre of the city, close to a financial sector. The park is home to a vast variety of plants and animals as well as a stunning lake that is surrounded by lush vegetation. The park was originally known as Hewitt Park when it was constructed during the British era, but it was later renamed in honour of Shri Krishna Dutta Paliwal, the first finance minister of Uttar Pradesh. Tourists can rent boats on the lake, which is really lovely. The area is buzzing with educational energy thanks to the numerous colleges around. Come for a walk around nature.

Paliwal Park links the residential areas of Vijay Nagar and Gandhi Nagar to the financial Hub of the city i.e. Sanjay Place. To the north is Gandhi Nagar, to the west is Wazirpura/Sanjay Place, to the east is Vijay Nagar and to the south is Ghatia. A motorable path runs through the middle of the Paliwal Park.
