Sankey Tank was constructed in 1882 by Colonel Richard Hieram Sankey, then Chief Engineer of Mysore State, to provide water to Bangalore. Originally spanning 194 acres, the tank has shrunk over time due to urbanization. Despite its reduced size, it remains an important source of water for the city and a beloved recreational space.
Sankey Tank is one of Bangalore's best spots. The lake is well-maintained and has a lot to offer. There’s a big walking track, plenty of seating areas, and several entrances. You’ll see many birds around, and the sunsets are really beautiful. It’s a great place to spend your evenings if you want some quiet time. Definitely worth a visit.
The place is good. People usually go there to watch sunset, some for walks and some to spend their time. It's a man-made park so it looks better during the evening time. The crowd will be there but the roads are so nice to walk and enjoy.
This serene lakeside oasis offers a perfect blend of nature and amenities. With ample jogging paths, exercise equipment, a children's park, and plenty of seating surrounded by lush flowers, plants, and diverse birdlife including ducks and tortoises, it's an ideal spot for both fitness enthusiasts and families. Its cleanliness and tranquil ambiance make it perfect for meditation or simply unwinding alone or with loved ones.
