Super serene park in the heart of the city. This place is filed with couples. Parking and entry is charged. 25 for entrance, 40 for car parking, but slots are limited. Decently maintained, can be better.

Okayish, could have been a bit larger, felt more like a park rather than a place by horticulture department which claims to preserve endangered plants and all. The entry fees was quite low.Although there are a good number of couples sitting in corners which makes it a bit uncomfortable if you are travelling with children and all.There are a few things to play for children though.

Family can go upto certain points, because all the corners and area are covered by couples, which will be uncomfortable sometimes 🎫 the place is such a peaceful vibe 🧘🏻‍♂️

It is a nice place to visit during the week ends. Beautiful Botanical Garden in the heart of the City, Nr.to Anna Flyover and Opp. American Consulate. It has got small play ground for small children. Full of Greenary. But poorly maintained. Some repairing and relaying of new pipes are carried out in order to restore the Water Fountain running round the Garden. I would recommend all to visit this place செம்மொழி பூங்கா and enjoy the Cool breeze and Greenary.

Best initiative by the govt of Tamil nadu is to create a botanical garden like this in the middle of the city. Best place to visit at all times. But after dark couples are crossing the limits.

It was dry , humid and with no maintenance. The place was long and nothing special about it. The walking pathway created was well constructed and maybe looked good for running ; its just a long ground with a park , trees and cafeteria. Costs about 25 per person which seemed unnecessary for the simple visit. With the long area maybe it could be better for filming and walking. Good luck finding more ways to use this place than that.

Nothing special just an ordinary green park. It should be free, but its Rs25/- chargeable. Not a good place for families and kids, because in this park couples are sitting in corners and hugging each other. Authorities should restrict them from doing all these to make it comfortable for kids and families.

Its nice to see dense vegetation in the middle of the city. Has a good walking circuit. Good spot for a photoshoot. The plant/trees are well maintained. They have parking spots for both 2&4 wheelers. Definitely worth an evening visit with kids.The play area is rusting, some even broken. Clearly they have used substandard products for play area setup by putting together a play area with different parts which are not meant for the play area. Why dont they buy play gyms specifically built for play areas which can withstand the Chennai weather for few years. The wooden pillars are now home to termites. Looks to me the management is waiting for all of them to get totally damaged and then they will rebuild with new budget money. There is NO maintenance done on the infrastructure (vegetation is comparatively maintained well)None of the fountains were working and one was with stagnant water where mosquitos were breeding. I am glad they collect an entrance fee of 25 per person, but pls do put them into use.

Its a small park in the middle of the city. Nothing special except some trees and plants inside. Adequately shaded by trees but maintenance needs a lot of improvement, except that the plants are well watered by the sprinklers and some ladies were engaged in cleaning the pathways. The eatery is totally in shambles except an ice cream stall. The childrens’ area is mediocre. There is a public toilet as per Board outside the park- could not locate it though. The entry fee of Rs.25.00 per adult appears quite high.OK for morning walkers and first timers but difficult to recommend.

Entry fee is 25 rs. Parking 15 rs. Kids are allowed for free. Has amazing large big lovely trees. And some photography spots. Only aavin eater available. Clean but not properly maintained. A family can spend a day of picnic. Evening sprinkler were a blessing for my kid.. He was enjoying the splash.. Lots of water spot but no water.... Hidden jungle in the city

One of the best photogenic places in Chennai with affordable entrance fee is Semmozhi Poonga. If you want to spend 3 hours in single place then you must visit this place. Perfect place for couples, adults and kids as well. I can see lot of lovers 😍😍 too. Visited 2nd time after 4 years. Enjoyed a lot.

Very beautiful place to visit with family and spend among the greenery. But too many couples sitting all around and making it difficult for us to have kids with us. It looks more like a couple park than a family park. It will be great if the authorities do something about it. Also 50rs for car parking and 25rs entry per person.

Nice place to hang out with your family and friends, ticket price Rs 25 per person, Good place for photo shoots, children play area is there, Tea and snacks shop is there inside the park. But some couples are crossing their limit in a public place, thats the only reason the family visitors should avoid this place..

This place have widespread area covered with numerous varieties of trees and plants but unfortunately there will be more couples who dont even have the basic sense of being in public and they do all private stuffs publicly. This park can be management should take action on these things. Apart from this issue, this is one of the remarkable place in Chennai and good place to hangout during summer

Worst Maintenance. Needs more attention. Entry ticket of Rs.25 per head for an adult which is totally waste as nothing is left in the park to view and enjoy. Only the entrance is maintained well just to attract the visitors. The ponds in the park are empty without water. Totally not recommended.

Very nice and pleasant place to visit. Here you can find various types of trees and plants from all around the India. They arrange evening show and if you have time please visit this place around 6-7pm in the evening, though the tickets are a little high according to what they have to offer, still its worth a visit place

The park was spacious n greeny. It had many trees n the atmosphere was nice. The parking costed ₹.15 and the entry fee for an adult is ₹20. Theres a play area for kids which has slide swing n see-saw. Good place for photoshoots, they charge ₹2000/day if you want to do a professional photoshoot over there. But the only drawback is that it is made as a place for couples. You can see them in every nook n corner. If youre planning to visit this place as family better avoid it.

This is a bootanical garden. There is a lot of greenery available here and you can sit peacefully in the shade of trees and relax yourself. A good place to help you feel good. The plants through are common and not much rare. There is also a pond located inside the park. Warning for singles - please dont go alone if you are single as many couples come here and you might feel a little awkward here 😅 but apart from that this place was so good.

This is the first time i visited chennai. So searched for the places to visit. This was one of them. So went with the family but it was kind of lovers park. Only couples around holding each other. Even when we went to play area which is for kids, is being used by them for fun. No security around to assist.It is good for couples not for family with kids.

Semmozhi poonga On this location transportation was good because MTC buses and Metro train available in nearby. Park atmosphere was fantastic. Entrance ticket 20/- for each adults. Childrens entertinment park was good.park maintenance also good. Two Wheeler and four Wheelers parking available in cost of 15 and 40/- in three hours valid. Inside water falls not workingThis place used to house the Legendary Drive in Woodlands hotel. After the lease contract was over the Government of Tamil Nadu took over the land and build this park. Just next to the US Consulate, the ever busy Cathedral and Anna Flyover it provides a break from the noise and pollution. One can definitely spend 2 to 3 hours at peace in this place which is full of trees and shade. Though designed to be a wonderful garden, it lacks maintenance and upkeep thanks to successive changing governments. A nominal entry fee of INR 15 is charged at the entrance. Enough parking space is a welcome thing, which is charged separately. For those who want to visit the place, I suggest going there on weekdays and no-holidays to enjoy the peaceful set up. Of course if someone is near the cathedral road and does not want to spend time in the scotching heat, this is the place to go.
