Sanjeevaiah Park, Hyderabad

Sanjeevaiah Park is a public greenspace and park in the heart of Hyderabad, India. Built on 92 acres (37 ha) along the banks of Hussain Sagar lake, the park is named after Damodaram Sanjivayya, an erstwhile Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The park is managed by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority. The park won the Best Open Landscape Award during the 2010 Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage award presentations.

About 100 species of resident and non-resident birds and more than 50 species of insects and butterflies are present in the park. The park is frequented by various migratory species of birds. The Pied Crested Cuckoo, which is considered as a harbinger of the monsoon rains due to the timing of its arrival, is frequently spotted at this park. The local birdwatchers predict rains 15–18 days after spotting this bird. Due to construction work initiated by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), typical birds such as the spotbills, cranes, common coot, Purple Herons, cormorants and jacanas were not seen at the park in 2010.
