Abstract: Located in Gujarat state's Bhavnagar city, Victoria Park is a reserved forest range that was created by Maharaja Takhtasinhji of Bhavnagar in 1888. The park, which is spread over an area of 500 acres, has a triangular shape and is bounded by roads on all three sides. This man-made forest is one of India's oldest and is maintained by the Forest Department, Government of India. It is home to numerous rare flora and fauna species, including over 100 fauna species and 422 flora species consisting of 350 dicots and the remaining monocots, 241 herbs, 75 shrubs, and over 80 tree species. With 57.11 percent of its vegetation consisting of herbs and 16.35 percent of trees, Victoria Park offers a green space to the city's residents and is home to antelopes, hyenas, and foxes. Additionally, the park features two water bodies: Krishna Kunj Lake, which is located within the park, and Gaurishankar Lake, which is situated outside the park. These lakes attract numerous migratory birds such as Bar Headed Goose, Northern Pintail, Rain Quail, Baillon's Crake, Pacific Golden Plover & many more each year.
