My Visit Details:

Saturday Evening was feeling bored in home so immediately we planned for a visit to this place.

Started around 4 PM and reached there around 4:45 PM. Route: Electronic city -> Silk board -> MG Road-> Ali Asker road -> Sankey’s Road -> Sankey Tank.

When I saw this place for a first time, I felt like I am visiting small tank bund like Hyderabad tank bund which is Lake surrounded by road. Love the place.

It’s very good place for evening walk\ morning walk. We can see people came for evening walk with families.

Also we can go for boating with kids too. Timings will be 6 am to 10 am and 12 PM to 5 PM. You may choose to take a boat to an island and relax there for a certain time

Also we can get snacks and chats for time pass but food is not allowed in the park.



Get time and enjoy the evening with your loved ones…….
