The park is situated on land historically associated with the cultural and educational hub surrounding the Birla Planetarium.
It is one of the few dedicated 'nature study' facilities in Kolkata that specifically caters to urban botanical observation rather than general recreation.
Nature Study Park is a specialized urban green space located in the heart of Kolkata’s Park Street area. It serves as an educational outdoor facility focused on botanical awareness and environmental learning. The park is situated immediately adjacent to the Birla Planetarium and the St. Xavier's College campus. Its landscape is designed to offer a respite from the heavy traffic of the Mullick Bazar junction. The facility provides organized displays of various plant species intended for study by local students and curious visitors. It operates as a managed park within a dense metropolitan district. The site maintains a quiet environment relative to the bustling commercial corridors surrounding it.

Visit during the cooler morning hours to avoid the intense Kolkata midday sun.
Bring a field guide or plant identification app to make the most of the educational displays.
Avoid visiting during the peak heat of summer afternoons, as the limited shade can make the park uncomfortable.
Maintain a quiet volume to respect the study-oriented atmosphere; do not pick plants or disturb the labels.
