Deul Park is situated on the banks of the Ajay River in the Gourangapur region of Burdwan, West Bengal. The site is anchored by the historic Deul temple, an ancient brick structure attributed to the Pala or Sen dynasty era. The park serves as a recreational space featuring landscaped gardens, play areas for children, and riverfront views. It is geographically positioned near the border of the Bankura and Paschim Bardhaman districts. The park facilitates nature walks and picnics within a forest-adjacent environment. It is managed to preserve both the heritage temple and the surrounding ecological belt.
