Digboi Centenary Park
Sub Place Details: Digboi Centenary Park was established to commemorate the 100 years of the Digboi Refinery, which is Asia's first and oldest operational refinery. This beautifully landscaped park is a favorite recreational spot for both locals and tourists visiting the oil town. It is situated rig ht in front of the massive industrial complex of the refinery, providing a sharp but pleasing contrast between the giant silver distillation towers and the lush green lawns of the park. The park features a large ornamental lake where visitors can enjoy boating while taking in the views of the surrounding hills. Well-manicured flower beds, walking paths, and a variety of trees make it an ideal place for a leisurely evening stroll. There is a dedicated children’s play area with slides and swings, making it a popular destination for family outings. The park also houses several monuments and plaques that detail the history of oil exploration in the region. During the evening, the fountains are lit up, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. The park serves as a community hub where people gather to relax after work. It is common to see students studying on the benches or groups of friends enjoying a picnic on the grass. The air is surprisingly fresh despite the proximity to the refinery, thanks to the vast greenery maintained within the premises. It is a testament to the town's ability to balance industrial heritage with environmental beauty.
