MN Krishna Rao Park, which is only a stone’s throw from its elder brother Lalbagh, is one of the old parks in the city, housing some of the most beautiful trees with large canopies. Named after late MN Krishna Rao, Dewan of Mysore who had donated Rs 20,000 to setup the park, the park is a haven for the residents of Basavanagudi who walk, jog, exercise and play in its vast premises beneath the giant canopies.
