Cariappa Memorial Park

The Carippa Memorial Park is a large plot of land dedicated to the valiant IAF veteran Field Marshall K M Cariappa; it is open to the public. Its military motif draws a lot of attention as a theme park in Bangalore because there is no admission price. Among the other in-house attractions are waterfalls, the Burma bridges, tunnels, and a play area. Timing: 05.30am to 08.00pm; Saturdays, 01.00pm to 07.00pm; and Sundays, 09.00am to 07.00pm. & Admission: Free.

Great place to spend time. Unlike other parks, good army memorial theme. Good place to take kids too.

The Park is closed for now. The greens are overgrown and it appears to have been left to nature. Probably a good thing.

It is maintained pretty neatly. Several peoples will come in the morning for walk and jog. It will be open twice in a day i.e early morning and then evenings. Well maintained I would say almost plastic free.

This is closed as on 28 April 2019. There is no plans of renovation

A thick forest land. Once converted to park but now closed for public. This can be called one of lung spaces of central Bangalore.

As a memorial to Field Marshall K.M. Cariappa of Karnataka, the Cariappa Park was laid out in 1996 in a portion of the parade grounds between M.G. Road and Cubbon Road. Spread over 22 acres, the park has six segments, an entrance plaza and a seven-feet monolithic monument of Cariappa. There is a huge man-made waterfall and a pond that attracts birds to the park. At the bandstand which is an elevated lawn, six military bands perform every fortnight. The grassy dunes around the bandstand provide comfortable seating for the public. The garden is maintained by various divisions of the Army.
A play area has been scientifically created in military style to improve physical strength and mental co-ordination of children. There are sand pits, a spiderweb, Tarzan-swing, Burma bridge, zig-zag tunnels and balance bars. A walker's track, paved with cobblestones, is 1.8 kms long. About 3000 species of plants and trees both indigenous and imported can be found here. In an effort to be eco-friendly, no chemical fertilisers or pesticides are used for growth or maintenance of the plants. A walker's track, paved with cobblestones, which is 1.8 kms long is ideal for long walks.
Cariappa Memorial Park is open to public on Saturdays between 1 pm and 7 pm, on Sundays between 9 am and 7 pm, and during the rest of the days between 5:30 pm and 8 pm. Eatables, drinks and pets are not allowed inside
