πŸ“œ Historical Context

Kattery Park is part of the State Horticulture Farm, Kattery, Coonoor, established in 1975-76. Initially, it functioned as a Vegetable and Seeds Production Centre (1976-1981) and later as a Plants and Seeds Production Centre (1981-1988), focusing on cultivating and distributing high-yielding vegetable seeds to local farmers. A tea nursery was also started under the Hill Area Development Programme.

Kattery Park itself was established in 2011, covering about 5.0 acres, and features a children's amusement park, water fountain, gazebos, and lawns. The broader history of Coonoor dates back to the early 19th century, with its exploration by John Sullivan in 1819. The British East India Company developed Coonoor as a sanatorium and summer retreat, establishing Wellington Cantonment in 1852.
