Cubbon Park

ಕಬ್ಬನ್ ಉದ್ಯಾನವನ

A 300-acre green lung in the city centre, with a red Gothic-style library and colonial-era buildings scattered among its trees.

Built in 1870, this city park has tree-lined avenues flanked by bamboo groves and rain trees. Its most photogenic building is the red Seshadri Iyer Memorial, which houses the Central Library of the State. The park sits close to the High Court, Vidhana Soudha and several museums, so it works well as part of a walking route through the city centre. It's open all day and free to enter. On Sundays and on the second Saturday of each month, the main roads are closed to traffic, and many locals come to jog, walk their dogs or join reading groups. Take the metro to Cubbon Park station or Vidhana Soudha station.
