'Located at the heart of the city surrounded by government administrative buildings, the Cubbon Park is a little haven of beauty. Officially known as the Chamarajendra Park, it was first established by the then British Acting Commissioner of Mysore, John Read, in 1870. Covering over 100 acres, the park is used by joggers, has a road that can be accessed by cars, and welcomes naturalists to study botany (this park has over 6,000 varieties of plants and flora). Visit the Cubbon Park if you’re looking for a moment of peace, interested in nature or simply looking to discover the city.'
