The Valankulam Lake in Coimbatore, also known as Sungam Lake, has seen a significant transformation under the Coimbatore Smart City Project. This lake, along with seven others in the city, was restored to enhance public spaces and improve water quality. The project included constructing wastewater treatment plants, removing encroachments, and adding recreational facilities like walking and cycling paths, boating, and bird-watching towers. These efforts have made Valankulam Lake a hub for both locals and tourists seeking outdoor activities and a scenic escape in Coimbatore【111†source】【112†source】.
The restoration initiative aims to create sustainable public spaces while increasing the city’s green area. The enhanced lake now supports activities that align with the city’s environmental goals and provides a revitalized area for community gatherings and fitness activities.

3 years agoSo far this place is not opened for public as some work is in progress. But great place for morning walk and evening we can spend our time with families and friends. Thanks to the smart city project.currently school/college couples are using this place as hideout during daytime. Once this project is ready then there would be lot of shops and fun filled activities will be there hopefully.
