General information
LocationLahore, Pakistan

Iqbal Park (formerly Minto Park) is large area of green space, located at the heart of Lahore city in Pakistan.[3] The park accommodates Minar-e-Pakistan (Lighthouse of Pakistan), a 60 meters (198.5 feet) tall distinctive monument in the shape of a minaret that has been built in commemoration of the Lahore Resolution passed at the three-day general session (22–24 March 1940) of All India Muslim League, calling for greater Muslim autonomy in British India. The resolution became synonymous to the demand for a separate Muslim state of Pakistan. The park has been expanded in May 2014 and now includes Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque which are now part of park as well . More than 93 acres land has been added to the area of the park during expansion.
