South Park Cemetery is a privately owned cemetery with 1600 burials in total. Park Street was the previous name for the South Park cemetery. The Indo-Saracenic and Golic styles are mixed in the cemetery.

It was founded in 1767 and has a combination of graves, cenotaphs, and mausoleums, all of which are enclosed by a brick wall. A number of important military and political leaders are buried at the cemetery, including Sir William Jones, Sir Elijah Impey, Walter Landor Dickens (Son of Charles Dickens), and others. The majority of the cemetery is covered with green mosses and ferns, giving it a gloomy atmosphere.
