AmuseTrips - India Amusement and Theme Parks, Water Parks, Arcade and Play Area

As a memorial to Field Marshall K.M. Cariappa of Karnataka, the Cariappa Park was laid out in 1996 in a portion of the Cariyappa Park 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 km 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.

Cariappa Memorial Park is open to public on Saturdays between 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm, on Sundays between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm, and during the rest of the days between 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm. Eatables, drinks and pets are not allowed inside.
