The story of CornerStone Park, CMH Road, Indiranagar

CornerStone Park on CMH Road sits inside Cornerstone Park, the public park at the junction of CMH Road and 100 Ft Road in Indiranagar. The place you are looking at is part of a BBMP park that was renovated by Cornerstone Properties in 2012 as part of a social initiative aimed at addressing social and environmental concerns in Bangalore.

What matters most here is its role as a small public green space in a busy residential setting. The renovation was meant to revitalize neighbourhoods and communities, with functional design and ecological functions built into the park’s use.

Around you is Binnamangala, one of the early settlements in Bengaluru; it was a former village that became part of Bangalore Mahanagara Palike in the 1981 census. That helps place this park in an older urban layer of the city, even though the park itself is a much later addition.

If you want to stop by, the park is open every day from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and again from 3:30 PM to 8:00 PM. So this is a place best seen in the quieter hours, when it functions most clearly as a neighbourhood park rather than just a roadside patch of green.

In brief

Cornerstone Park is a public park located at the junction of the CMH Road and 100 Ft Road in the heart of Indiranagar, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The BBMP (local council) park was renovated by Cornerstone Properties in 2012 as a part of a social initiative that has been formed to address social and environmental concerns of Bangalore. The renovations were aimed to revitalizing residential neighborhoods and communities with elements of functional design and ecological functions. The highlight of the park is the city's only outdoor vertical garden.

The park was inaugurated on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda by Ananthkumar, MP and General Secretary of the BJP and presided by S. Raghu, MLA of Sir C. V. Raman Nagar Constituency. The Chief Guests include P. C. Mohan MP, Shri. A. Ravindra (Chief Advisor for the C. M. & Chief Secretary, Govt. of Karnataka), Savitha Ramesh (Corporator, Hoysala Nagar) and B. P. Kumar Babu (managing director of Cornerstone Properties). The communications were designed and developed by Circuit 9 Communications Private Limited.
