    The park is located in the center of the city. A great place to spend some relaxed time. It's maintained really well. The entrance fee is 50rs/p. A lot of people walk regularly here. There is a pass system for regular walkers. There is even an aquarium inside for which the entry fee is separate.

    Amazing eco park with a lake, walking path, boating facility, angling/fishing area, eateries in the heart of Chennai. Plenty of parking space and located right next to Chetpet railway station. Missed visiting this place for 8 years, as this seems to have been inaugurated in 2016. Will visit regularly from now on. Ideal to spend time in the evenings and early mornings. I'm my opinion, all the actual water bodies of Chennai villages from 50 - 60 years ago should have been retained and developed like this eco park, we can only sigh...

    A park within the Chennai city with a large water body having boating facilities for weekend time pass. Ample communication by Rail, Metro (green line) and bus. Kilpauk metro station and Chetpet Railway stations are just couple of minutes walk from the park. Except boating and an aquarium gallery there is nothing much to see here. From the ticket counter it was gathered that the park opens at morning for the early morning walkers. The aquarium opens at 11.30 AM and closes at 5.30 pm most likely.

    I was ardently looking for a decent place to take my 10 month old baby & I found the perfect place in Chetpet Eco park. Pros: Abundant parking, spacious pathways so that I could ensure some amount of social distancing, beautiful clean lake, lots of flowering foliage at the same time not many mosquitoes at 5pm; birds, cats, ducks, boats, turtles and fishes in the aquarium! Made my baby and me very happy. Also has a play park for older kids, snacks n juice area & a separate track for daily members who come for jogging or walking. This track cannot be accessed by visitors. There is supposed to be lessons for fishing and angling; don't have details though. Cons: aquarium could have been maintained better, 3D arena wasn't working. Car parking Rs. 24/hour. Entry: park- ₹25/adult; aquarium- ₹50/adult

    Great place! Mostly calm. Lot of people going for walks and jogging and running in a big round. You can see ducks too! The water is 12 foot deep. You can go boating! 😁 You can peddle and boat. They give a simple life jacket for safety and one of the boat men / operator peddles along with another person, others can sit and chill :) Each boat has four seats with two peddles, but can take five folks too, depends on weight and size of folks and space available in boat The park of course has play area with lots of swings, see saw, slides. It also has a eatery inside, where fresh juice is sold, samosas, bajji, sandwiches, popcorn 🍿, sweet corn 🌽 are sold Parking - It has two wheeler and four wheeler parking space. Prices - Two wheeler parking cost is 12 rupees per two wheeler per hour. Four wheeler parking cost is 24 rupees per four wheeler per hour. The park has entry fees of 25 rupees per person. Boating costs 60 rupees for one adult and there is cost for children too, some 30 rupees

    We have been wanting to visit this Evo park 🏞️ for months now!! Only taoday this was feasible. Really awesome weather. Beautiful landscaping. The charge a fee of Rs.25/pax for people to enter. Parking inside the complex is charged too. They have a small aquarium!! A restaurant is also there but functions only in the evening I think. Nature lovers will really enjoy walking here !! Those who observe the ☘️ plants and creepers 🌵 will love it. Birds 🐦 and 🐟 fish that can be spotted interest us. The walking trail is really big. If we complete one big round , we cover more than 1 1/2 km !! There are many concrete slabs for tired persons to sit down. Pretty shade at certain places!! Really rich greenery pleasing to the eye with 2 larger water bodies in the middle. Boating might be possible in the evenings. Didn't spot any in the morning.

    I visited Eco Park near the Egmore and was impressed by its diverse offerings. From boating and gaming to a well-equipped kids' play area, the park caters to various interests. The walking track provided a serene atmosphere, and the highlight was the enjoyable fishing experience. A perfect blend of recreational activities in the heart of the city.

    Located on the busy poonamald high road, this is a welcome air of freshness. A lot of land has been reclaimed to create this space. Essentially this is a walking track around a water body. Row boating is available. You will see mostly regular walkers who have a pass here. Visitors are minimal and young couples spend time here in the shades of the trees. Peaceful place definitely. Ample car parking available. 25 rupees per hour. There is also a small resort inside, but I don't know who will stay there!! A children's play area also available. This place can be accessed from Chetpet Railway station too. One can spend around an hour if you are a visitor. A gym, a fish mueseum is also there.

    I went with my GF few days before on a mild sunny day. The time we entered into the Ecopark it felt more comforting and relaxing there. There are Boat rides, Aquarium, Tree garden, Children's park, 3D theatre and some beautiful cats too. We roamed around the entire area for 2+ hrs I guess. Time just went like that. Perfect place for couples and even for family and children too. Some unique place to spend your time in a budget friendly price.

    A nice place for a small family outing. If you are a walker or angler, they've special package with monthly pass. There is a small food outlet for a quick bite and kid's play area too. Aquariums with marine life and hordings listing their name and other details are interesting and educational. There is a theatre also which shows 3D movie(could not watch it because of time constraints). Boating and resort rooms are also added advantages. It's really amazing that they have created such a place within the heart of the city. Have utilized the place very well. Kudos to fisheries department.

    Favourite and perfect park in chetpet Chennai. Walking, boat riding, fishing (members only) are few activities done here. Outdoor food court and games for kids available. Well maintained landscape. Really good hangout spot. Small island is there in the middle of the lake and it appears to be in Anniyan movie

    A must visit place in Chennai for your family dayouts and outings. A complete combo of Aquarium, lake, Boating, park and 3D show which makes it super worthy. The entry fees would cost Rs.25 for Adults and Rs.10 for Kids. All convenience facilities are made for touristers and travellers. Resorts are allocated for allocated for making stays comfortable for the travellers which is an added advantage. 3D show is a must and lively thing to enjoy. Boating is completely amazing with a fare of Rs.60 for Adults. Well maintained restrooms for the comfort of the visitors. Hatsoff for the maintenance of the park. Highly recommended place.

  • 5/5 Suresh S. 4 years ago on Google
    A very heart warming place in center of the city. One of the must visit place in Chennai. Entrance fee applicable. Enough parking space available. Walking is allowed inside for a monthly membership. Really its an ideal place for healthy walking. Inside you have boating at affordable cost. But only pedal boats available. Around the walking platform there are rest space and mini parks available. Inside pond ducks are roaming around. Inside children play area available it's big and enjoyable for kids. A small snack shops also available but not too many choice of food. Children of 5 to 15 years are taught how to do fishing along with certificate at a package cost. Inside they have an aquarium also which is worth watching. A must visit place in Chennai.

    Boating is available in the heart of the city! Although you have to pedal the boat and it would be only for 10 mins or so, this was such an enthralling experience! Boating is available at 60rs per person and you can have a peaceful walk through out the park. It was such a pleasant experience to watch the ducks swim. I'd suggest you not to try aquarium as there are not much species available when we visited. Food and beverages are way too costly here and would be better if we bring our own snacks (recommend to check if it's allowed although we saw few people bringing in outside food). Restrooms are available inside the park.

    Wish this park was opened when I was in my college! Such a beautiful park, well maintained, a play area for kids, boating, kayaking, walk place, museum, eatery and many other amenities. Restrooms are well maintained. There is a resort that can be utilized for small family function. Now post pandemic boating services have opened! Definitely a must visit place in Chennai.

    Good place for spending time with kids in middle of the city. Boating in a pedal boat is the interesting thing, but the ride was just 1 round last for 5 minutes. VR games, aquarium and play park are attractions for kids. This is good and can be maintained much better. There is a cafe coming up next to the VR games.

    Didn't know this calm and scenic place existed in the heart of a busy city!! A good relaxing area. And not very hot here. There are shady places with seats where you can enjoy sitting. Also a good place for studying. There is boating inside. Really amazed seeing this place in a hidden area amidst busy streets. Needs to improve cleanliness still more. And the store inside seems unhygienic.

  • 4/5 Gayathree M. 11 months ago on Google
    The place was maintained clean It is a nice venue for boating & fishing right inside/within the city of Chennai. The main gate is almost opposite to Ega theater, but a few meters further, towards Central. There is parking space, and I paid Rs. 20 for parking my bike for two hours. Entrance ticket cost is Rs. 25 per head, and boating ticket costs Rs. 50 per head. The Park is open from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M., except on Tuesdays. There is a huge walkway around the lake and the area is decorated well. I think the walking distance (one round) should cover almost 0.75 K.M. There is an area on the lake dedicated to fishing/angling. I guess the charges are Rs. 300/- for a catch of three fishes and they’ll give angling rods, etc. I didn’t try this. There is a small food court with bakery, sandwiches, soups, chaats, tea, etc. And behind it is a small play area for kids. There is also a restroom.

    I go there everyday morning for a walk , or running . The stretch is quite large , approx 1.4 km . The place has an entry fee and thus it is relatively well preserved. Need to be maintained properly . The serene ambience with water bodies and lots of trees makes it a good place for early risers

    Good place to hangout with friends or family. Entry costs ₹25 for Adults. Don't miss out on pedal boating. It costs ₹60 per person and enjoyable although not very long. It has lots of cats so if you're a cat person you're in for a treat, you can pet them all day 😺.

    This place in the heart of the city is a serene haven, well-maintained and perfect for a relaxing time. The place is crowded with hundreds of walkers/joggers in the evening and early morning adds to the clogged atmosphere. The lake's beauty is truly mesmerizing, and the option for boating enhances the experience. On the downside, the aquarium is small and not up to par in terms of maintenance. The entry fee of ₹25 per person.

  • 3/5 Gokulavan J. 2 years ago on Google
    Very neat and clean premium walkers park, which also hosts, boating, aquarium, event areas, kids play area, some snack shops. Ample parking, multilevel parking available. For cars ₹20+8/- every hour. ₹8 is for GST. First time seeing this on papers. Entry charge ₹50 for adult. Absolutely costly for a walking park.. That too you are not allowed to circle the entire area. Walkers monthly pass and yearly pass available, ₹50/- application fee, and then monthly ₹200/- yearly ₹2000/-. Haven't seen such a costly walking area in Chennai. That too run by TN Fisheries. Boating per head ₹55/- and the worst part is for the pedal boat a driver comes with you. Fishing can be done, they provide anglers for rent. Aquarium is good, but again costly tickets. The entry ticket of ₹50/- doesn't work anywhere. Nicely maintained path, lawn and kids area, many lights are broken, rest rooms are clean. Inside snack shop prices are like cinema hall price. ₹40/- for small popcorn, ₹50/- two samosa. Overall good for a single visit. I pity the walkers who pay and walk, as I could see and smell visible burnings behind the hospital, diesel locomotives which are on the prowl, circled on two side by heavy traffic to just pollute their air.

    Serene place to do morning walks, meditation , etc. Can send quality time here in the morning by walking around the lake which gives you good vibes and positivity. The entry fee for one time is 20 rs for adults when I visited last year in 2022. It's worth the money ., It has children park, aquarium, etc. We can go boating and in the evenings it is visited by even more people who spend time with their friends and family . It has all facilities inside from restrooms and even stay is available i guess.

    Great place to spend time with nature while in the middle of the city. Walking around the lake in the walkers path in the evening is a great break from the screen time. It's busy with many walkers who have formed a community amongst themselves. Fishing is another activity that's well organised here. Children have ample play area. The snack bar there can quench your thirst or provide you quick bites while chit chatting with your friends.

  • 4/5 Rahul M. 6 months ago on Google • 59 reviews
    A nice place to spend your evening. If you are visiting for a small walk the ticket price is 20rs, but you may not be able to explore the whole park. It's limited access. If you buy the membership you can get to explore more. It's a well maintained park, ideal for children to walk around, play on the swing, slide and many more. If you are a daily Walker, a park surrounding the lake brings a sense of calmness and you can enjoy your walk.

    This place is such a underrated place in all of Chennai. Love the whole vibe of this place. This is mostly enjoying by people coming for their morning and evening walks they even have a monthly subscription pass for walking. The park has a huge lake with boating and fishing activities. There is a resort,a cafe and even a playground all in one location. The weather now is just perfect to visit this gem 💎.

    Great place with great many options. Not many but still countable. Can be a place of romantic interest. Can also bring around kids here and have a small picnic. There is option to go paddle boating. People can also fish here, but there has to be a membership or something, not sure entirely. There are a variety of birds, and vibrant colourful flowers are abundant as well. Over all a nice place to spend some quiet quality time within the boundries of nature.

    Hi Google users, Visited this place on 27-Dec. It was an OK place to visit. Not many attractions apart from fishing and boating. They have a 3D theatre experience which was very average. They project a movie for about 15 minutes costing 50 Rs for adults. There is a aquarium and a Virtual World. The VR and augmented reality experience was quite good and was worth it. It is a decent place which can be maintained in a much better manner. Worth visiting if you are in and around Chetpet Chennai.

    Not a place to spend your afternoon. No food courts are functioning. The Entrance fees for adults is 25 and children 10. All children from age 3 are charged. Car parking Rs 20 + GST per hour [Rs 24 /hour] Entrance slip receipts are not provided if the cashier is having lunch. :) Beware of the security guards inside the park. They want to put blame on you for broken lighting fixtures. They are bit cranky. Visited on a cloud shaded cool Sunday in Jan and not many people are visiting this place. Almost empty park.

    This place is maintained neatly from the day it is opened , guess somewhere 2013. Now the made few structural changes to benefit the visitors. Nice place for walking and Joggers. Kids play area, Snacks, ample seats and view point, resting areas,boating, aquarium and 3D theater & private rental for shoot is available. Only drawback is , it is tough to climb down/up for boating though there is a stair case. But it was built keeping in mind of high water level in future.if this is changed , this place is one of coolest , calm & relaxation place in the busiest center of the city.

    A park for everyone in the city, the Chetpet Ecopark is a haven for nature lovers. The lake within the park is the only lake that still exists within the city limits and is perfect for fishing. It was only in 2013 that the area surrounding the lake turned into the Ecopark when late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa announced to add a walking path, facilities for boating, angling, and even water sports. Mostly used in the early mornings and evenings by walkers, Chetpet Ecopark houses its own sewage treatment plant within its premises and the lake uses rainwater from the storm drains. In fact, the Chetpet Lake is the first water body to use over 50,000 litres of recycled sewage water. While the walking path lets you explore all the beauty this place encompasses, be sure to check out the duck pond here. The park is open through the day and also has a food plaza called the Ecopark Food Zone that has been built above the two-wheeler parking. From nasi lemak to kathi rolls, you can get everything here. Interested visitors can go on a 30-minute boat ride around the lake, and there’s also the option to fish, along with a children’s play area. Aquarium, 5D show and VR shows are the other attractions here. If you’ve never stopped by Chetpet Ecopark, now is as good a time as any. Pro-Tip If visitors wish to take the fish they catch home with them, there is an extra cost. They have monthly passes for walkers too. The park is closed on Tuesdays.

    The park works between 10 am and 7pm. There is an entrance ticket. The entrance fee was nominal at ₹25 for adults and ₹10 for children. Two wheeler parking came at ₹12 per hour. Before the entrance, you have an Aavin parlour and the ticket counter also sells fish pickles. You can also buy fish at ₹300/kg says the notice on counter. You can see the following inside the premises: 1. Aquarium (₹50/- per head) 2. Multimedia Room ( children's play area with each activity carrying a fee ranging from ₹50 per game) 3. A Dome House (a vertical theater, runs only when there are six people), Visual Realty Ride and Visual Reality video,, toddler colour and post on screen games. Price starting from ₹50 (single event) to ₹200 jumbo package 4. Boat house (₹50 per adult and 25 per kid). 5. Walking trail 6. Kids play area 7. Canteen 8. Angling area (a separate pond, off limits you don't buy a separate ticket ₹200 per fishing rod or have a Walker's monthly pass) The boat house had a steep dangling stairway to the pond that might give jitters to some ( they should allow the use of the concrete stairway for older people). The pedal and ride boat didn't provide much except for one circle around the island in the middle. The water was not foul smelling. We didn't try the multimedia room. The games are a bit suited for kids from std 3 to std 12. The dome house sounded nice but we couldn't get a chance as the number of people weren't enough. The VR and augmented reality were almost the same as you see in most play stations. However, the area was spacious, cool and equipments neat. For kids below primary level, the paint your fish and drop it in water (augmented reality) was nice. The kids play area is almost the same as you find in most corporation parks, except that the crowd was a little less because of the entrance ticket. The canteen was decent and the prices a bit high. The biggest highlight is the aquarium. You can see a variety of fishes starting from the now very common koi fishes, a variety of barbs, Oscars, a variety of cichlids, large arowana, turtles, clown fishes (yes Nemo and Dory were there) with live sea anemones. Their were a lot of river monsters (longer than your hand) like alligator gar fish, piranha, arowana and a couple of other fishes. There was also a section on fishes from gulf of mannar and western ghats. What is really pathetic is that you cannot identify most of the fishes in the tank if you are not an aquaculturist of fish biologist. The display units don't provide much information and in most cases the names of the fishes are missing. If every one can identify all the fishes in the tank then it will be much better, especially for school children. The aquarium could be properly lit, and walkway made more beautiful (probably with a theme). Total time inside the aquarium can be on average 20 mins. You can spend anywhere between 30 mins and 2 hours (if you play all games) within the park. If you choose kids play area and angling, you can spend another 45 mins to 2 hours.

    Amazing park. Very well maintained. The walking/running tracks are well paved and the distance is 1.2kms. There is a smaller track of about 800mts as well. The water body is nice with few ducks. There is a coffee shop which needs improvement. The management could outsource it to Chai Kings or similar chain who will run it professionally and provide quality stuff. There is a play are for kids. Ample parking space is available including multi storey parking. Entrance fee is ₹25 and parking ₹15. There are monthly pass options for walkers/joggers.

    Honestly speaking, it's not that worthy place for tourists. It's has a walking path (jogging track), park, small boating facility, and an collection of fancy fishes (aquarium). The problem is that you have to pay for each facility in that small area. It takes up around 200₹ per person to view everything.

    Chetpet eco park is a good place for making your body fit by walking there, it's a wide space in the middle of the City, boating is there, but if you are able to peddle then go for it , we can see a beautiful sunset.. it makes you feel awesome..

    Me and my friends visited this Eco park last week in the evening. Pleasant environment and clean atmosphere. The parking charges are acceptable and there's a covered parking. The view of the lake was mesmerizing. As we walked down the path, there were cats roaming and birds chirping. The park is well maintained and family friendly. There is also a separate area for people who would like walking for fitness. The shop inside is a bit pricey though.

The place is quite big and good for walkers and joggers. People can sit and have some relaxing time as well. Kids can play in the play area. Must try !

    Good place to chill out in the Evening, playing area with swings, slide, see-saw and snacks nearby is enjoyable for kids. Pond looks clean. You can try Pedal Boating, but mostly you'll have to wait in queue on weekends. A small aquarium with entry fees at Rs. 50 is costly imo. Nothing more. You can spend 2 hours at max
