People's Park, Chennai, Public park in Chennai, India
The park contains twelve lakes connected by five miles of pathways, offering shaded spaces for walking and outdoor activities.
Sir Charles Trevelyan initiated the construction of People's Park in 1859, establishing it as one of Chennai's first major recreational spaces.
The park serves as a central meeting point where different communities gather for traditional events and social interactions throughout the year.
The location provides direct access from multiple entrances and remains open daily from sunrise to sunset for walking and recreational activities.
The park once housed the original Madras zoological garden until 1985, when it moved to a different location in the city.
