The beauty of cubbon park in Bangalore

The cubbon park is located in Bangalore at a distance of 5 km from the railway station. The park has been named after Sir Mark Cubbon who was Bangalore’s longest serving commissioner. Beautiful roads, blooming trees and placid plains are spread all around.  The beauty of the park is added with lush, grassy expanse with flowerbeds.

There are a number of monuments within the park including a memorial hall located at the center of the park that is dedicated to Awshadri Aiyar, a Jawahar Bal Bhavan, Children’s Park and a Museum.

The Museum was established in 1866 and is housing the specimens of Vijaynagar and Halebid, Mohenjadaeo architecture, ancient coins and stone inscriptions which are as old as 5000 years. This is one of the oldest museum in India and can be visited on all days except Mondays from 8.00 am to 5.00pm.

At the entrance you can see a diamond shaped aquarium, the second largest in the country. There is a good collection of exotic fishes in the aquarium. The park remains closed on Mondays.
