What people say, in short
Go for the sunsets and calm evenings at this Malleshwaram lake park; also good for morning walks and jogs, though it gets crowded on weekends.
Sankey Tank, the lake park in Malleshwaram, is recommended above all for its sunsets: many commenters single out the evening sky there, and a few say it stays beautiful and calm just after dark. Visitors also use it for morning walks and jogs. A couple of commenters note it gets crowded on weekends, though one adds the far side of the tank road stays quiet. One commenter praises it as among the best kept lakes in the city, while another feels its charm has been fading.
