Just a word of advice: it's a good idea to check the timings before planning your visit to ensure you can fully enjoy this serene escape.

One of Bangalore's oldest and most iconic man-made lakes, Sankey Tank can entertain the whole family, be it for photography , fitness, or street food. Any North Bangalorean will tell you that they've been there more than once in their life. Spread over 15 hectares, it extends to portions of Malleshwaram, Vyalikaval, and Sadashiva Nagar, with two entrances, so you don't have to run around to get in. Shutterbugs and flower kids can happily relinquish in some macro, landscape, or bird photography owing to the variety of topics there or just to breathe some fresh air. You will find ducks, herons, lots of flora, and the odd litter of puppies just enjoying the natural surroundings and limited human disruption. Head there between 6 am to 9 am or 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the evenings to enjoy the natural beauty of the tank which was built in the late 1800s(1882) under the administration of Colonel Richard Hieram Sankey of the Madras Sappers Regiment. This tank was constructed to cater for the water supply demands throughout Bangalore City at that time. It was also called Gandhadhakotikere at that time as the Government Sandalwood Depot was situated near it. On occasion, you can go boating, but we'd suggest you skip it to enjoy the water from the outside. With a wide jogging and walking track (no traffic jams here), an open group exercise space (we've seen many a yoga and laughter therapy groups), an open gym for adults and a play area for kids, the whole fam can get fit at once with an extra dose of oxygen. Relax down at one of the many benches across the route and park, or use it to catch a great sunrise or sunset depending on when you're there.

I keep visiting place because I love the vibe here. The lake is mesmerising with different kinds of birds flying around it. If you are lucky enough, some fishes could be seen around the lake. You may even find glimpse of bats during late evening.

One of the best places to go dor morning walk in Bangalore. It has both jogging and walking trail for about 1.25 km in one stretch. The trail is surrounding big lake. They also have small trees planted across. also have area for physical excercise. There is big area for parking outside lake area
