I recently had the opportunity to visit Anna Tower, which was opened to the public just a few months ago. I had been trying to visit for months, but it was closed due to some issues. I am so glad that I was finally able to go, and I was very impressed.

The tower is located in Anna Nagar Tower Park, a beautiful park in the suburb of Anna Nagar, Chennai. The tower is 133 feet tall and offers stunning views of the city. The best part is that the climb to the top is not too difficult, thanks to the spiral design and the rubber cushions on the floor. I didn't feel tired at all, even though I am not in the best physical shape.

The views from the top of the tower are simply breathtaking. You can see for miles in every direction. It is a great place to get a sense of the scale and scope of Chennai.

Overall, I highly recommend visiting Anna Tower. It is a great place to go for a walk, relax in the park, and enjoy the views of the city. The tower itself is a unique and impressive structure, and the climb to the top is well worth it.

Just visited the most beautiful structure of Chennai Anna Nagar tower. As a child I have been to this tower now at the age of 45 I am revisiting this place.
For Google meet up Chennai this place was chosen. So from Adyar via Anna Nagar Ayyappan temple I entered the eastern side. Crossing a row of plants, shrubs, and walking area I reached the mighty tower. Built with 13 floors, that go as a swirl round about way, the beauty of this walk up is you get to see city on one side and only greenery on the other side. As you climb up, air thickens but blows hard.
The floor is laid with soft material tiles, which are not fixed so they keep moving. During summer they act as coolers while in winter or rainy days they act as slippery mats if not watched might lead to a fall. The entry to this tower is free.
Coming out before leaving I saw an array of shops selling best eateries, snacks and fried food. Icecream are popular all through the year.
A place to stop by and visit in chennai.

Nice place for morning walk/jogg and to relaxing.. Small pond with fishes and tortoise.
Weekends are always overcrowded.

However i felt bad by looking at the pond that has full of plastics
Please do not throw plastics/waterbottle in the pond, let us be responsible to keep our environment. Dont expect gov should take initiative for everything..

This place brings all the nostalgia. Been here As a kid. A great park with this tower being the centre of attraction.

We can easily reach the top as the climb is through a slope and not stairs. The view was excellent! Avoid going on Sundays and public holidays... Mornings are great..

This iconic tower is now opened to public. Jogging trails, amphitheater, small parks for children etc are available surrounding this tower. Parking area and small refreshment shops are available around the park

Anna tower

This is a must visit place if you are in Anna nagar, Chennai. It is located at the very prime location in Anna nagar. The park has two entrances. The first entrance is located near the Ayyappan temple and the second entrance is at 3rd main road. It is the tallest park tower in Chennai.

The tower is 12 storied and 135 foot tall located at the middle of the park. It has the ramp spiraling to the top. Surrounded by many fountains. The fountains look great during the night time because of their attractive lightings. The park along with the tower is maintained by Chennai corporation.

The tower is recently opened for the visitors after long years, the timings are 7AM to 10 AM & 3PM to 6 PM. One can go at the top and experience the scenic view of the city.

The park has dedicated children’s play areas (at 3 different locations), lakes, amphitheatre, skating rink etc. surrounded by so many trees. The places are well maintained. You will find so many people walking throughout the park on walking tracks.

Many activities for kids can be seen inside the park such as dance practice, boxing, different martial arts including karate and regional sport like Silambam etc.

I was impressed by the skating rink. So many small children’s taking training about the skating. You can seat an enjoy watching them learning skating. (Skating sessions may be held on weekends).

The place is mostly crowded on weekends, difficult to find parking for 4 wheelers. 2 wheelers can be parked near to the park. The authorities have to look after for proper parking arrangements.

You will find many fast food operators nearby, just outside the park.

This is an old legacy place for locals. This has a big park with fountains and play area all around. The center of attraction is the tower. We can climb on top of this. I use to go during my childhood. It was closed due to multiple incidents but government has taken action in opening it again now. Tomorrow they are planning to allow people to go in top of the tower, that an excellent news. There is a small entertainment arena. People practice and coach dancing, skating, and excercises. One change I felt is all the seating chairs are full with pairs all around. Play area is divided into multiple sections and multiple choices for kids to play. Overall this place is a good family entertainer. Visited this this week i felt slightly worried when visiting this as the current generation has proved their legacy by writing all over the walls with love symbols and names in just a week of inauguration. Inside tower walls are completely named by students who visit them with love messages and names. I felt really sad worrying about the younger generation.

Most gorgeous park in Chennai, with ponds which has lots of fishes big and small, tortoise, small black swans, pathways, lanes, trees, play zone for kids with swing, slides and many more, the coolest part is the tower which has around 12-13 floors from where you can see the city far and so far that beautiful city never ends.
Must visit atleast once. Kids would enjoy this place.

Clean and well maintained park with good available play area for kids and a great place to have a relaxed mind and avail mental peace. The tower adds on a great significance giving a complete view of the Chennai city from the top. As a whole, it’s a good place to visit along with family members.

The tower has been renovated and opened to public. Climbing the ramp upto top of the tower is quite an experience that one should not miss. The panoramic view of the Chennai City atop 130 feet is wonderful. The park itself is green with plenty of trees and a walk around the periphery is a little over 1km. Better to go by walk or 2 wheeler as car parking might be an issue .

It's a lung space of this locality. Stand tall from the year of 1968 as a structural marvel. Public should understand their responsibilities to maintain this without doing scribbles on walls. Very happy to watch playing children's, installation at OAT, skating kids, youngsters practicing dance, daily walkers and especially local snacks.....

Nice maintenance with security guards and houses keeping clean areas.

Best Park in the city and maybe the oldest. Once a place which was avoided but not a great place for walking, skating and play area for kids

Update: Now you can see the city view from the Tower. Very safe and easy to climb

Anna Tower is one of the best attractions of Chennai. The entire view of the city can be seen. A beautiful view from the top.

The Greater Chennai Corporation has opened it for the view of the public after 10 years.
