What people say, in short
A free green escape best for early-morning walks, with Sunday running, skating and a dog park; several rate it above Lalbagh.
Cubbon Park is the attraction locals recommend most often: a free green escape in the middle of the city, best on early-morning walks when runners fill the paths and the traffic fades. Sunday mornings bring running, skating and reading groups, plus a fenced dog park where visitors can pet dogs. Several prefer it to Lalbagh for its greenery and upkeep, though one commenter finds the benches and restrooms poorly maintained, and one regular stopped going in the evenings because of the crowds.
