The second tallest Indian National Flag is located in this park, the tallest being in Ranchi, India.  The height of the flag post is 291 feet (88.69 metres) and the dimensions of the flag are 72 feet x 108 feet.  This flag was unfurled on 2 June 2016 by the Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Chandrashekar Rao.  This day marked the second anniversary of Telangana's formation since its bifurcation from the state of Andhra Pradesh in 2014.  This cost of the flag was reported to be Rs. 2 Crores.  The original plan was to unfurl the flag 303 feet high (higher than the tallest flag at Ranchi, which is at a height of 293 feet).  However, the Airports Authority of India granted permission to hoist the flag only up to 291 feet.<ref name="hindustantimes.com"/><ref>http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/020616/telangana-formation-day-kcr-unfurls-291-ft-high-flag-to-mark-2nd-anniversary.html</ref>
