Situated in a portion of the parade ground between M.G Road and Cubbon road, is the Cariappa Memorial park. Spread over 22 acres, the park was laid out in 1996 as a memorial to Field Marshall K.M Cariappa. The unique attraction is a huge man-made 27-foot waterfall situated on left side of the park. In order to enhance the physical strength and mental co-ordination of children, the play areas are created in military style . About 3000 species of indigenous and imported plants and trees can be found in the park. The garden is maintained by various divisions of the Army and every fortnight six military bands perform at the bandstand or the elevated lawns. A seven-feet monolithic statue of Cariappa can also be seen here.

The park is open to public on all days between 5:30 pm and 8 pm except Saturdays and Sundays. On that days the timings are 1 pm to 7 pm and 9 am to 7 pm respectively.
