Explore Cubbon Park: A Historic Oasis in the Heart of Bangalore

Established in 1870, Cubbon Park has been a prominent landmark and a symbol of pride in Bangalore City for over a century. Originally named "Meade’s Park" in honor of Sir John Meade, the acting Commissioner of Mysore who founded the park, it was later renamed "Cub Park." In 1927, it was officially designated "Sri Chamarajendra Park" to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar’s reign in Mysore.
Located at the heart of bustling Bangalore City, Cubbon Park is easily accessible from M.G. Road, Kasturba Road, Hudson Circle, and Ambedkar Veedhi. Spanning 100 acres, the park's tranquil environment attracts visitors year-round. It is managed by the Directorate of Horticulture and features approximately 6,000 plants and trees. Notably, vehicles are banned on the park roads from 5 am to 8 am daily, during which the area is designated a silent zone. Outside these hours, the park remains open to the public.
