Cubbon Park - In 1864, Lord
Cubbon, the then viceroy of India, laid out 300 acres of verdant
tranquility. Today, it remains an oasis of greenery in the
heart of modern Bangalore. This beautiful park is the haunt of the seekers
of pleasure and tranquility and is highly popular with walkers, joggers
and nature lovers. Complementing the natural beauty of the park are the
red Gothic structures of the State Central Library and the High Court.
