- Size: 16 acres.

Locating Sivaji Park
Sivaji Park sits in the area between MVP Colony and Sivajipalem, in the northern part of Visakhapatnam. A local listing gives its address as M.V.P. Colony. Mapcarta places Andhra University west of the park and MVP Colony Sector 5 Park northeast.
The park was created in 1999 on a site previously used as a dumping yard, with an initial investment of ₹8 lakh. Its urban setting makes it easy to place among the surrounding neighbourhoods rather than treat it as a remote nature stop.
What to expect from a park visit
Sivaji Park is a landscaped urban green space, though the current condition of its facilities should be verified before you plan around them. A local tourism listing describes gardens, paved walkways, fountains, a children’s play area and a roller-skating rink.
The park covers 16 acres, giving it room for both planted areas and recreation features. Its site has also undergone a renovation project: Yo! Vizag reported that the city corporation allocated ₹1.53 crore for renovation and later inaugurated the renovated park. That report describes a past project, not a guarantee that every feature is operating now.
Access and facilities to check
Confirm the opening hours and facilities before setting out, since the local tourism listing is not an official confirmation. It reports daily hours of 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, while the current operating condition of the gardens, fountains, play area and skating rink has not been independently confirmed. Check GVMC’s official site before you go.
Combining the park with nearby stops
From Hotel Athidi Grand, Sivaji Park is about a 10-minute drive. Mapcarta places CMR Central west of the park and Kailasagiri northeast; these locations sit in different directions, so consider them as separate additions rather than assuming a single short loop.
