SIVAN PARK

Sivan Park on P.T.Rajan Salai, K.K.Nagar, gives you more than the expected pleasure of a leisurely stroll.

The visitor gets a chance to see various monument replicas, like that of the Gateway of India. It is the only Corporation- maintained park where there is a 15 feet high statue of Lord Siva, depicted in a posture of meditation. The statue is designed in such a way that water flows down from the head, from a height of about 15 feet, giving it a cascading effect.

In addition to well-maintained lawns, pathways and play area for children; the park has a good collection of trees including Petophorum, Rain tree, Gulmohur and shrubs like acalyppa, creepers and ground covers. There is also a nursery that sells plants to visitors to the park.

The Tamil Nadu Housing Board originally developed the park when the K.K.Nagar Housing layout was developed. It was later handed over to the Municipal Corporation.

MAYDAY PARK

May Day Park, originally known as Napier Park, is situated on Deputy Mayor Kabalamoorthy Road in Chintadripet.

Spread over 14.5 acres, the Park is used to hold public meetings during the May Day celebrations. Even political parties and associations take out rallies from the park.

Adopted and maintained by Simpson & Co., May Day Park is divided into two portions. The park, proper, is on the eastern side and on the western side is a well-maintained playground used by the neighborhood children for cricket, football, volleyball and badminton.
