Salim Ali National Park or City Forest National Park is a national park located in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.[citation needed] It covered an area of 9.07 km2.[1] Notified in 1986, the name of the park commemorated the Indian ornithologist Salim Ali.[2][3] The park was converted into the Royal Springs Golf Course, Srinagar between 1998 and 2001 by Farooq Abdullah, the then Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir.[2][4]
His interest in Golf is very well known and encouraged him for the Golf course project next to Ecologically fragile Dal Lake.
The park featured a wildlife species such as the hangul, musk deer, Himalayan black bear, leopard, Himalayan serow and 70 species of birds, including the paradise flycatcher, Himalayan monal, and Himalayan snowcock.[1][2]
