Maha Bandula Park, Public park in downtown Yangon, Myanmar.
The park spans 7.5 acres, bordered by Maha Bandula Garden Street, Sule Pagoda Road, Konthe Road, and Maha Bandula Road in central Yangon.
Founded in 1867 as Fytche Square, the park underwent transformation in 1948 when the Queen Victoria statue was replaced with an Independence Monument.
The central Independence Monument, designed by architect Sithu U Tin, stands as a symbol of Myanmar's liberation from British colonial rule.
Located near Sule Pagoda, City Hall, and the High Court, the park provides recreational space for residents and visitors throughout the year.
The site transformed from Tank Square, a swampy area, into a central gathering point surrounded by colonial-era administrative buildings.
