    Sankey Tank in Malleswaram is a man made lake and spread over 37 acers. Atmosphere is awesome. Full of beautiful greenery around. A wide waking track is under renovation and beautification. May be completed in a couple of months. A separate jogging track is also there. Both the tracks are side by side. Walking path is of 1.75km.( one way). And the proposed connecting bridge of 0.27 km. A total of 2km walking path. Sankey Tank is a beautiful and peaceful place for families to spend sometime to relaxing and refreshing. Children's park at West gate attracts the attention of children. Lotus pond, bat resting area, cormorant bird nesting area are provided in the park. There are two open Gims which attracts the fitness lovers, one near the sadasivanagar gate on east side,and another open gim at the Malleswaram gate on west side. An island is one of the best attractions. Relaxing areas provided for senior citizens and families around the park. Two first-aid rooms, two toilets and two drinking water points provided. Park maintenance is very good. Security guards are on their duty. Park is open for public from 6 am to 10 am in the morning and 4 pm to 7 pm in the evening. Totally the Sankey Tank gives a memorable feeling to the visitors.

    So peaceful to go for a walk here or just watch dome birds while the sun sets. The pathway is being build a around the water body to be able to walk comfortable. There is also ample seating available for just relaxing. Weekends are a little more crowded. Parking available just outside. No entry fee. Lots of beautiful flowering plants are present, please do not damage or pluck them. Lots of cute ducks can be seen swimming around too 😊

  • 2/5 suhas c. 1 year ago on Google
    Nothing exceptional. Renovation work is still going on and the water is dirty. May be if lesser crowd, it will be better for walk/jogging. I had a different expectation altogether.. Easy to reach though traffic will be hectic at the entrance. Food is not allowed inside which I hope they strictly maintain. The water needs to be cleaned asap.

    Lovely paradise neglected by authorities. Half done patchy and shoddy construction work and POOR MAINTENANCE has let down this beautiful place ...the jogging track and pathway around the lake should have been ready long ago even before the pandemic , sadly it is left unattended. All The approach roads to the park are in a MESS , be it Sampige Road or Margosa Road or the road from IISC . Even the lighting and illumination of the park is stuck in limbo, because of which the park needs to be closed soon after sunset unlike otherwise when the park would be open until 8pm or even beyond. High time authorities fixed all the troubled spots and converted this place into the paradise it deserves to be.

  • 5/5 Shabeena Banu Y. 3 months ago on Google • 43 reviews New
    Have all modern equipments in kids play area. Kids enjoy a lot as wide range of equipments available to play. I have observed a yoga classes area which have morning and evening classes here. The lake area is beautiful. And there is separate jogging and walking area available. In weekend you can see there are Sankey book readers club members reading books in lake area. And the adult gym are equipments needs a upgrade as many of them are too old to use and some are broken. In Sankey tank water area there are many swan's which makes us to watch water more and its really beautiful. Plants, bamboo's, garden area is well maintained. Need to update accessibility in this place.

    Sankey Tank is one of the ideal places to spend a relaxed day in Bangalore. The tank is situated in a convenient location in the western part of the city. It is in the middle of the suburbs of Malleshwaram, Vyalikaval and Sadashiva Nagar. The lake is spread across an area of 37.1 acres. At its widest the tank has a width of 800 m or 2624.7 ft. The large water body is a source of attraction for the locals as well as the tourists coming to Bangalore. The lake is under the care of the State Forest Department. Sankey Tank Photographer Nwchar History of the Sankey Tank This manmade tank was constructed in the year 1882 under the supervision of Colonel Richard Hieram Sankey of the Madras Sappers Regiment. The tank was built to meet the water supply demands of the Bangalore city at that time. It was linked to the Miller’s tank and Dharmambudhi tank. The tank was also known as Gandhadhakotikere at that time as the Government Sandalwood Depot was located near the lake. Initially the water of the tank was very putrid. But after a lot of sincere efforts the tank today has pure water. The beauty of the Sankey Tank Sankey Tank is one of the major lakes of Bangalore. This artificial lake is surrounded by a picturesque garden. The most exciting thing about this lake is that during the winter season the lake is converted into the nesting grounds of a plethora of migratory birds. The placid water of the lake and various birds flocking nearby is a sight to behold. On any day the lake is the perfect place to enjoy a walk as a cool breeze always blows over the place. Visitors can enjoy the greenery of the lake in the company of chirping birds. The colourful benches surrounding the water body add to the natural beauty of the Sankey tank. The tank has been recently renovated by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation. The surroundings are clean and well maintained. The tank is a rich reserve of various species of fishes and aquatic plants. Main attractions of the Sankey Tank The Sankey Tank offers several attractions for the visitors. The tank includes a landscaped park and a swimming pool towards the southern direction while the northern side has a Forest Department nursery. The covered walkways of the tank are ideal for jogging. The park is a calm place to sit and behold the beauty of the surroundings. The Mayura Sankey Boat Club Visitors can enjoy boat rides in the water of the tank. The Karnataka State Tourist Development Corporation maintains “The Mayura Sankey Boat Club” at the Sankey Tank. The boat club has a large number of boats of various kinds such as pedal boats, row boats, motor boats, etc. Visitors can rent boats during specified hours to enjoy a trip of the tank. The boats can be hired for riding on the water or visiting the island situated in the middle of the tank. The island on the tank offers an amazing view of the surroundings covered in water. It is a great place to relax in a serene atmosphere. The tank is often frequented by local visitors as a picnic spot for weekend trips. There is an exclusive tank built specially for the purpose of idol immersion during the Ganesh Chaturthi festivals. Best time to visit the Sankey Tank The best time to visit this lovely attraction of Bangalore is during the months of summer. As Bangalore has a pleasant weather throughout the year, the tank can be visited at any time of the year. However, as the tank is an ideal place for sightseeing and outdoor activities like boating, it is best to avoid the rainy season while visiting the tank. Timings for visiting the Sankey Tank The tank is open for public visit on all days of the week except Friday. Timings of the tank: 6.00 AM to 8.00 PM Weekly Holiday: Friday Timings to hire boats: 6 am to 10 am and 12 noon to 5 pm

    This is a spacious and beautiful place. It’s lovely at all times, but specially peaceful in the mornings, around 6-7am. A jog around the tracks at this time, is the best start to the day. The place also has a children’s play ground and an outdoor gym. The lake is home to ducks and you can spot tortoises too, if you closely look. Malleshwaram is charming for many reasons, this place is one such!

    A real surprise… the Sankey lake and the surroundings have undergone a wonderful transformation. Hats off to the team behind. Wonderful walking track and a separate jogging track. Neatly laid out landscaping. Clean surroundings. Absolute pleasure to take a walk in the morning.. Photography enthusiasts really have a treat in store! Great eateries around to stop for breakfast - Veena stores on Margosa Road, IDC in new BEL Road…

    Sankey Tank - Lung space in malleshwaram.. It is an ecosystem by itself. The tall trees, birds, lake has few ducks & migratory birds also visit the lake. A lovely walking & jogging track is available for walking. If you are in Malleswaram area don't miss this beautiful lake for a walk. Kids play area is also refurbished with new equipments. They are interesting & Nice for kids.. Let's co.operate to keep the park & lake pollution free.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sanky Tank on a weekend evening, and I must say it was an experience worth remembering. Sanky Tank, located in a serene and picturesque setting, offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here's my review of the visit: Atmosphere and Scenery: As I arrived at Sanky Tank during the evening, I was immediately captivated by the tranquil atmosphere that enveloped the area. The setting sun cast a warm golden glow over the surroundings, creating a magical ambiance. The tank itself was a sight to behold, with crystal clear water reflecting the surrounding lush greenery. The peacefulness of the place was truly rejuvenating, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and unwinding. Flora and Fauna: Sanky Tank is a paradise for nature enthusiasts. The tank is surrounded by a variety of trees, plants, and flowers, creating a vibrant and refreshing environment. I enjoyed leisurely strolling along the walking trails, admiring the beautiful flora and spotting several species of birds and butterflies. The park's efforts in preserving the ecosystem were commendable, as I noticed information boards educating visitors about the diverse flora and fauna that call Sanky Tank home. Activities and Amenities: I observed several groups engaging in laughter, and games, adding to the lively atmosphere. Additionally, there were designated areas for children to play, ensuring a family-friendly environment. Staff and Maintenance: The cleanliness and maintenance of the park were commendable, with well-manicured lawns, neatly trimmed hedges, and litter-free pathways. Safety and Accessibility: Sanky Tank prioritized visitor safety and accessibility. The pathways were well-paved, making it easy for visitors to explore the park. Signboards and directions were clearly visible, ensuring that visitors could navigate the area without any difficulties. The park was also equipped with adequate lighting, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience, even during the evening hours. Conclusion: My visit to Sanky Tank on a weekend evening was a delightful experience. The park's tranquil atmosphere, stunning scenery, and abundant flora and fauna made it a perfect getaway. Whether you're seeking solace in nature, planning a picnic with loved ones, or simply looking for a place to unwind, Sanky Tank is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend experiencing the park's beauty and serenity firsthand. Cons: No toilet No Drinking Water Facility

    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.

    A great lung space in Bangalore and they are trying to upgrade as we speak.. the only gripe is the tracks are not connected to each other on the either sides so you cannot complete the loop around the lake. The park closes at about 7pm everyday and is filled with people until then.

    Sankey Tank is one of the landmark places of Bangalore. However as the renovation work is in slow much, it's glory is diminished temporarily. The authorities should speedup the work and bring back it's old glory with modern amenities

    Sankey tank which was constructed in 1882 to meet the fresh water supply demand, now houses shoals of fish, many ducks, swans and welcomes migratory birds. This man made tank looks like a natural lake. This place is easy to locate via google maps and is open from 6 AM to 8 AM and 4 PM to 6 PM. One can easily travel to Sankey tank via public transport. There is no entry ticket / entry fee. It is well maintained, hygienic, clean and is surrounded by old tall green trees with its branches widespread across the area. There are some small colorful shrubs, potted plants and lawn which adds to the beauty. It has a children's play area, a trail to run, jog or simply take a refreshing stroll, there are benches and gazebos to sit back, relax and enjoy the view . This is a good spot for photography lovers. Ducks swimming around in the lake flapping around or feeding upon some grains and the sight of various birds (local and migratory) is just soothing and charming. The quick flutter of morning birds, ducks quickly feeding off the ground at dawn and the attractive lights at dusk with its reflection on the lake gives the same place two different but equally beautiful views. This place is good for family, children and friends.

  • 4/5 Akarsh M. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Sankey Tank since I was kid It takes me a lot of memories. So at present the sankey tank has been newly renovated which looks much more astonishing. There is a small island for birds which makes it much more attractive. Safety is more important for this kind of location which management needs to work more on that. Another than that please don't carry any type of plastic which will effect our birds and lake even the environment. Parking here is a bit of a problem for cars Ample parking for bikes here

    Amazing place to be in a cool climate or just mornings and evenings. They have remade the place really well for everything from jogging, yoga etc to just sit and enjoy the view. Construction still on but the place looks much better than before now.

  • 4/5 Veerabhadra H. 1 year ago on Google
    Sankey tank is the only large clean water body in west Bengaluru. It has changed a lot in last 20 years. At present the authorities have made cement path for walking as compared to earlier one. The place is a 5 star place with provision for rest room for ladies and gents separately. This the only water body in Bengaluru which is accessible for general public without paying any money. For people staying near-by this is go to place for morning or evening walks. There's a play area for kindergarten age kids which is usually rush on Sundays. There's also a small open air gym kind of facility for adults also. The sad part is there is continuous work undergoing by authorities in this place, who are changing couple of things than comfortable they were as before.

  • 5/5 Mahesha E. 1 year ago on Google
    Vast and calm Lake. Nice place to visit for walk / jog or with family. Currently under re-development by authorities. Concrete walking track is underway, which will make the walking even more convenient for pedestrians. Many birds, cranes & ducks add to marine beauty. Nice place.

👍 Clean and well maintained. In the day time walking path along the garden is locked. Felt disappointed as kids were not able to enjoy the park facility. Information regarding garden should be updated in Goggle. Families came with kids in daytime but only boating is available.
