This is a huge park, built in Gomti nagar Lucknow by the previous chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Smt Mayawati. It is one of the tourist attractions of Lucknow and also called Parivartan sthal.

The park is quite spacious, the main highlight is a Buddhist stupa containing the relics of the Buddha. The pat to the stupa is decorated with rows of elephants.

There are statues and sculptures of dalit icons including Kanshi Ram, Mayawati and Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule, Sahuji maharaj, along with a summary of their life and contributions. There are also scenes from the Buddha's life inside the main building. It is a good place to learn about the dalit struggle, injustice of caste system and social equality in India.

Its quite clean and well maintained. Its a good place to hang out with friends. There is an entry ticket at a cheap price.

Architecturally this is an amazing place. Opulence reflects in the way this is constructed. This is the legacy of this city, however found that maintenance and security wise, I found this to be not well treated. Thing to note is either visit this memorial in morning or evening that too till 4 PM, because in afternoon you would not find any trees or greenery here and it will be too hot. Ideally this is a memorial and not a park. But it is good place, a must visit if you are in Lucknow. Time to visit 11 - 4 PM, visit on a not so hot day and keep around 2 hours for this memorial.
