Sri Chamarajendra Park
Sri Chamarajendra Park, commonly known as Cubbon Park, is a lush green oasis in the heart of Bengaluru, India. Established in 1870 by Major General Richard Sankey, the Chief Engineer of Mysore, the park was originally named Meade's Park, and later renamed in honor of Sri Chamarajendra Wadiyar, the 19th-century Maharaja of Mysore. Spanning over 300 acres, this sprawling park is a testament to Bengaluru’s rich legacy as the "Garden City of India."
With its serene pathways, towering trees, and vibrant flower beds, Cubbon Park offers an escape from the bustling city life. Its diverse flora includes over 6,000 species of plants and trees, ranging from exotic ornamental varieties to indigenous species. The park is not only a haven for nature lovers but also a sanctuary for fitness enthusiasts, morning joggers, and families seeking leisurely strolls amidst nature.
Cultural and historical landmarks enrich the park's appeal. The State Central Library, with its iconic red facade, and the Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, stand as architectural gems within its bounds. The Bangalore Aquarium, another key attraction, delights visitors with its collection of exotic and native fish species.
Cubbon Park is also a hub for biodiversity, attracting bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. The sight of vibrant butterflies, chirping birds, and playful squirrels adds to the park’s charm. On weekends, it transforms into a cultural hotspot, hosting open-air yoga sessions, art exhibitions, and musical performances.
Whether you're a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking tranquility, Sri Chamarajendra Park offers a unique blend of urban greenery and cultural heritage, making it a must-visit destination in Bengaluru.
