Cubbon Park, officially Sri Chamarajendra Park, is one of the most iconic places to visit in Bengaluru and a major green landmark in the city centre. Located in Bengaluru’s central administrative district, this historic urban park was established in 1870 and today spreads across roughly 300 acres of landscaped gardens, tree-lined avenues, bamboo groves, lawns, and heritage structures. Often described as the green lung of Bengaluru, Cubbon Park offers a refreshing break from the city’s busy commercial areas and remains a favourite for morning walkers, families, photographers, tourists, and nature lovers.
The park is known not only for its greenery but also for its cultural and architectural significance. Key attractions include the striking red Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, which houses the State Central Library, the Government Aquarium, Jawahar Bal Bhavan with its toy train, statues, fountains, and shaded walking trails. Surrounded by landmarks such as Vidhana Soudha and the High Court, Cubbon Park combines heritage, leisure, sightseeing, and nature in one of Bengaluru’s most accessible public spaces, making it an essential stop for anyone exploring the city.
