Nageswara Rao Park

Nageswara Rao Park is a 4-acre public park located at Luz Corner in Mylapore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Named after Desodharaka Nageswara Rao Pantulu, it is maintained by the Greater Chennai Corporation. The park features tree-lined walking paths, a children's play area, badminton courts and open lawns. It is a popular neighbourhood green space for morning walks, exercise and leisure, situated close to Kapaleeshwarar Temple and Luz Church.

Visitors can expect a well-maintained urban park with paved walking and jogging tracks shaded by mature trees, open lawns, benches for resting, a dedicated children's play area with swings and slides, and open-air badminton courts. The park has a calm neighbourhood atmosphere, used mainly by walkers, joggers, families and senior citizens, with views of surrounding residential streets of Mylapore.

The park is named after Desodharaka Kasinadhuni Nageswara Rao Pantulu (1867-1938), noted journalist, nationalist and founder of Andhra Patrika. Developed in the early 1940s on land in Mylapore and later taken over for maintenance by the Chennai Corporation, it has served as a key public recreation space for the Mylapore neighbourhood for over eight decades.

A central community space for Mylapore residents, the park is used daily for morning walks, yoga, and informal gatherings. It hosts community leisure activities and serves as a neighbourhood landmark near culturally important sites such as Kapaleeshwarar Temple and Luz Church.
