Digboi is recognized as the birthplace of the Indian oil industry, dating back to the late 19th century.
The park's location is intrinsically linked to the historic Digboi Refinery, which began operations in 1901.
The area surrounding the park is part of the Digboi oil field, which remains one of the oldest active oil fields globally.
Digboi Park serves as a primary recreational green space within the historic oil-town of Digboi, Assam. The park is situated in the vicinity of the world's oldest continuously operating oil refinery, which defines the region's industrial heritage. It features manicured lawns, walking paths, and landscaped gardens maintained for local residents and visitors. The park provides a contrast to the surrounding heavy industrial infrastructure through its curated botanical displays. It functions as a community hub for relaxation and family outings in the Tinsukia district.
