This is one of the finest place to play badminton , cricket but the problem is there will be no place to play as many of them play. Residents of well-planned Basavanagudi in South Bengaluru have several green spaces to choose from, and what’s more. Morning walkers here have grown up with these heritage parks and are fiercely possessive about their memories of the area. This place is best for Jogging , walking , open gym , yoga , weight lifting is also provided ,small open auditorium. The parks are closed to the public at 10am and open again at 4pm. The Palike’s move to extend timings by an hour each in the morning and evening meets the long-pending demand of citizens who want to spend more time in the green spaces.

This is one of Bangalore's oldest parks, and it is also in excellent condition today. It's a nice one for kids because it has a lot of room for them to play. This is a great one for walkers and joggers. On Saturdays and Sundays, there used to be some excellent archestras. Listening to music and eating groundnuts sold by young boys is a pleasant experience. Take the opportunity to go and enjoy an evening there. This park is ideal for walking and jogging with the boys. This park is well-kept and has jogging and walking paths. It has a nice play area for kids. It also has a gym that is available to the public for physical activity.

This message is for lazy fellows like me who can't always get up early on Sundays- Visit M N Krishna Rao park in noon & you won't regret missing your planned morning walk again! All thanks to bangalore weather plus big incredible trees covering 25 acres. Another benefit... number of visitors would be far less compared to morning. We were pleasantly surpised that park was not closed in noon. Also we were Not pleasantly surprised when we noticed cricket being played inside the park.Though it did not disturb us in anyway but it should not be allowed! It affects natural ecosystem...1 star less for this reason only.
