Sri Chamarajendra Park, commonly known as Cubbon Park, is a historic and expansive green space located in the central administrative area of Bangalore. Spanning over 300 acres, the park was originally created in 1870 by Major General Richard Sankey and later renamed in honor of Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar, the 19th-century ruler of Mysore.
Cubbon Park is a sanctuary of biodiversity, housing over 6,000 trees across 100+ species, including exotic and indigenous flora. It provides a refreshing escape for morning walkers, cyclists, and families, while also being a hub for nature photography and relaxation.
The park is surrounded by prominent landmarks such as the Vidhana Soudha, High Court of Karnataka, and the State Central Library—adding cultural and architectural charm to its green ambiance. Located approximately 38 km from Prestige Gardenia Estate in STRR Devanahalli, Cubbon Park offers a perfect weekend getaway for residents seeking nature and heritage in the city center.
