Atal Udyan (Assamese pronunciation: [ɔtɔl uˈdjan]) is an urban park situated at Adabari Tiniali in the Maligaon area of Guwahati, India.

The park was inaugurated by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on 24 December 2021, a day before the 97th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister of India, late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.[3]
