About VOC Park, Erode
V.O.Chidambaranar Park or VOC Park is a recreational park located in the South Indian city of Erode in Tamil Nadu. The park is owned and maintained by Erode Municipal Corporation.
History
The park was constructed in 1912 with a land spread of 25 acres, when Thanthai Periyar was the Chairman of Erode Municipal Council. The original idea of the park was developed as a part of the Drinking water project to the town. Erode Municipality built a small reservoir named as Pechiparai to store the water from River Kaveri and four tanks in the form of towers joined with a wall. And a garden has been established in its vicinity, named after the then Municipal Chairman Srinivasa Mudaliar. With the succession of Sheikh Dawood as next Municipal Chairman, he renamed the place, Peoples' Park and added a Mini-Zoo to it.
