'''Park Town''' is a neighbourhood in downtown [[Chennai]] ([[Madras]]), [[India]]. It lies adjacent to the historical neighbourhood of [[George Town, Chennai|George Town]]. The area got its name from the [[People's Park, Chennai|People's Park]] which was situated near the [[Ripon Building]]. It was earlier known as White Town, as the Europeans used to stay here.

Today the area is a major transit hub with all the 3 [[Chennai suburban railway|Chennai's suburban]] lines and the [[Chennai MRTS|MRTS]] line converging here. It also houses several key Government offices.

Major Government landmarks include:

* [[Chennai Central]]
* [[Government General Hospital]]
* [[Madras Medical College]]
* [[Chennai Corporation]]
* [[Southern Railway (India)|Southern Railway]] headquarters

The three [[Chennai suburban railway|Chennai's suburban]] routes and [[Chennai MRTS]] cross through Park Town, which makes it a popular transit point. The [[Chennai Park Town (Chennai MRTS)|Park Town MRTS station]] is situated behind the Government General Hospital. [[Chennai Park (Chennai Suburban Railway)|Chennai Park]] is one of the busiest suburban stations in the city.
Both the stations lie opposite to Chennai Central Terminus. Additionally, two lines of the [[Chennai Metro]] will meet at Chennai Central metro station, which is located in this zone. Hence, in the near future, Park Town area will become a bigger transit or interchange zone for 6 different railway lines which comprise the 3 suburban lines, 1 MRTS line and 2 Metro lines.
The arterial [[Poonamallee High Road]], which passes through the neighbourhood, is the most important road in Park Town.
