Where the Park Sits on Hussain Sagar

Where the Park Sits on Hussain Sagar

Sanjeevaiah Park occupies the north side of Hussain Sagar, with Lumbini Park on the lake’s south side. The Hyderabad District government describes Hussain Sagar as about 2 km from the heart of Hyderabad. The lake was excavated in 1562 AD during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah and named after Hussain Shah Wali.

The park is at Necklace Road on the Secunderabad side of the water. Its shoreline position gives the grounds a clear connection to the lake, rather than making them a separate stop inland. For a broader look at the waterfront, the Hussain Sagar Lake guide covers the lake as a destination.

What to Expect on the Grounds

What to Expect on the Grounds

Sanjeevaiah Park combines walking space with themed gardens and other attractions. HMDA describes a peripheral walkway, lawns and ornamental trees alongside a floral clock, cafeteria, palm garden and rock garden.

Other features include Nandana Vanam, a bamboo garden, a children’s science park, a fragrance garden and an aquatic garden. The grounds also contain the Samadhi of D. Sanjeevaiah, a former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. With several different areas across 90 acres, you can shape a visit around a lakefront walk and time among the gardens.

Hours, Entry and Ticket Checks

Hours, Entry and Ticket Checks

General visiting hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with entry charges of ₹10 for adults and ₹5 for children aged 5–10. Walker hours are 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM, with a walker charge of ₹2.

Opening hours

  • Monday to Sunday: 9:00–18:00

Last checked November 2026. Hours can change on holidays and for special events.

These hours and charges can change, so check the official site before you go. Don’t treat the lake’s hours as the park’s schedule: Hussain Sagar is open throughout the week from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, but that is lake information, not confirmation of Sanjeevaiah Park’s hours.

Reaching the Park

Reaching the Park

Hussain Sagar can be reached by road, local train, bus, taxi or auto. The lake is about 17 minutes by car from Amrutha Castle. For your trip to the park itself, confirm the current route and travel time before setting out.

The distance from Hussain Sagar to Nampally railway station is nearly 3 km and to Secunderabad railway station is 4.5 km. These are distances to the lake, not a specific park gate, so use the park’s Necklace Road location when arranging your final approach.

Pairing the Park with Tank Bund

Sanjeevaiah Park and the lakefront make a natural pairing: spend time on the park’s peripheral walkway and gardens, then continue your outing around Hussain Sagar. HMDA’s venue booking portal includes the park at Tank Bund, Hyderabad, for leisure, recreation and cultural events; that venue entry does not set general visitor hours or ticket terms.

For another garden stop in the same broader lakefront area, the NTR Gardens guide explains what to expect there.

A Few Practical Tips

Keep the distinction between walker hours and general visiting hours in mind when planning your arrival. If you’re going for a regular park visit rather than the listed walking period, use the general schedule as your reference and verify it before you leave.

Allow time for both the lake-facing walkway and the garden areas if you want to see more than one part of the grounds. The park’s attractions range from open lawns and ornamental trees to themed gardens and the children’s science park, so you can choose a route around the features that interest you.
