Association Urges State to Reject Lease Renewal for Cubbon Park Land
What happened
The Cubbon Park Walkers’ Association has asked Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar not to renew a lease granted to the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA) for 2.6 acres in Cubbon Park. Association president S. Umesh stated that the lease expired on August 23, 2026, and alleged KSLTA collected high membership fees while paying only ₹20,000 annually in rent.

Why it matters
The dispute centers on the use of prime land within Cubbon Park. The association claims KSLTA’s activities resemble a club rather than a sporting facility, challenging the terms of the lease. This pressure relates to the state's land management policy and potential revenue from park land.
The state government is pushing for the alienation of Cubbon Park land, and the BMRCL has acquired land adjacent to the Metro station within the park.
