    History

    Originally called Meade's Park, Cubbon Park was envisioned by Major General Richard Sankey, the chief engineer of Mysore state, in 1870. It was later renamed in honor of Sir Mark Cubbon, the longest-serving Commissioner of Mysore. The park was officially established in 1884 and has since become an integral part of Bangalore's history and cultural heritage. Over the years, it has witnessed numerous historical events and served as a prominent gathering place for the city's residents. Its historical buildings, such as the Attara Kacheri and the Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, stand as testaments to its rich past. Today, it remains a beloved green oasis cherished by locals and visitors for its natural beauty, historical significance, and recreational opportunities.

The children's play area and toy train add charm, making it a favorite spot for families. Additionally, the park hosts various cultural and recreational events, enhancing its appeal.

    Spending a weekend at Cubbon Park with my family was truly enjoyable. Even though it was quite busy, the park's extensive area made it easy to find peaceful spots. We took a pleasant walk and eventually settled on a bench to relax and appreciate the stunning natural scenery. Cubbon Park is a visual treat at every turn, with a calm and peaceful atmosphere that serves as a perfect getaway from city life. The abundance of trees offers plenty of shade, making it comfortable even on sunny days. The park's well-maintained pathways and lush lawns invite you to explore and unwind. There are numerous eateries just outside the park, providing ample choices for food and refreshments, catering to a variety of tastes. One of the highlights of our visit was the vibrant diversity of flora, from towering trees to blooming flowers, which added bursts of color to the green landscape. The park also offers various activities for visitors, such as cycling, picnicking, and even yoga sessions, making it a versatile spot for all ages. Additionally, the park has paid toilet facilities that are maintained satisfactorily, which is impressive for a public space. I urge everyone to help maintain this beautiful space by not littering. It is disheartening to see bottles and plastics being thrown into the lake, contributing to pollution. Let us all take responsibility to keep Cubbon Park clean and preserve its beauty for everyone to enjoy. Overall, Cubbon Park, with its lush greenery and occasional blooms, offers a refreshing and picturesque environment that is well worth a visit. Whether you are looking to relax, exercise, or simply enjoy nature, this park provides a perfect setting for all your recreational needs.

    This is perfect family gate away for weekends. In the center of Bangalore with great proximity for urban Bangalore.Nominal entry fees and prices for different activity are also normal. Here you can cover different activities like toy train, swing, break dance, water activity etc. Natural sightseeing destination covered with tress all around. Good parking space for two and four wheelers. Maybe good for running and jogging for local people. Park also has well maintained public toilet which are chargeable. Few small restaurant and outside stalls for food. I liked this place, would love to visit again.

    To escape the hustle and bustle of the city, one can have a great time here with family and friends. It has thousands of trees. One can simply sit under a tree and read a book. Other activities which can be done here are walking, jogging, sight seeing and take photos and videos. Kept clean by the staff. Well maintained. One can spend a couple of hours here and feel fresh and relaxed. Limited parking available for two wheelers and four wheelers. Gets busy during the weekends and public holidays. If you are in Bangalore, do try to visit.
