A Victorian trail around Cubbon Park and MG Road
Bengaluru’s history is often described as a tale of two cities - the Indian city or Pete, and ‘Bangalore’ - the European Cantonment, with the huge Cubbon Park forming a bridge between the two. Walk back into 20th-century Bengaluru, beneath the trees of one of the city’s most familiar landmarks.
Meade’s Park, later renamed Sri Chamarajendra Park and popularly known as Cubbon Park, is much more than a park. Alongside the many species of trees, plants and birds that call it home are some of Bengaluru’s important buildings - Vidhana Soudha, the Karnataka High Court, museums, the Central Library and the Aquarium, among others.
Stroll through this green oasis and discover how the park came into being. Learn about some of its unusual trees and hear stories from another time -when gentlemen wore top hats, memsahibs carried parasols, officers entered on horseback and ladies arrived in closed carriages to spend an afternoon among the lawns and trees of the park.
Come along on our Cubbon Park walk and discover the stories hidden among the trees.
