Yelahanka lake is my favorite public spaces .. Yelahanka lake is

a well planned lake with walking track around it , it has
various seating spaces , outdoor gym and boating aswell. It
overs a 5 meter track loop around the water body. There are
2 small island between the water body , which is home for
birds. About maintenance of the lake , it's not maintained
properly and the fencing around the lake is alo damaged,
where people can enter into the lake area other than the
main entrance, which makes it unsafe. There is small slum on
one boundary side of the lake where there haven't left the
minimum setback and encroached the lake area .The reach to
the place is through kogilu cross, it's about 300meters away
from kogilu cross(main road), the lake has parking facility and
it's physical handicapped friendly
