Gyms, parks and running routes in HSR Layout

How many gyms are there in HSR Layout?

18 gyms are mapped inside HSR Layout's seven sectors, and half of them are in Sector 1. The chains mapped inside the layout are cult.fit (four locations), Snap Fitness (two) and Gold's Gym (one, on 27th Main Road); the rest are independents. Sector 6, which has the most parks, has no mapped gym at all.

A gym here is a place OpenStreetMap tags as a fitness centre, or a sports centre whose mapped sport is the gym. Several more sit just outside the mapped boundary: Game Theory, which trades as "HSR Layout Sector 7", is on 2nd Main Road south of the sector line, about 1.5 km on foot from 20th Cross Road; The Body Works and the Turfpark complex are across the Outer Ring Road in Koramangala. Gyms open and close often, so check that a name on this list is still trading before you walk there.

Where are the sports grounds, courts and pools?

HSR Layout's public sports ground is in Sector 2: the HSR BBMP Ground beside the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sports Complex, with a basketball court, a kabaddi court, a cricket pitch and nets, a badminton and volleyball court and an asphalt running track of about 370 m a lap. It is about 1.5 km on foot from 20th Cross Road in Sector 7.

• The HSR Club, Sector 3 — a members' club on 22nd Cross Road, founded in 1996, with a swimming pool, gym and tennis courts. Membership, not walk-in.
• Tennis and basketball courts — OpenStreetMap maps a tennis court in Sector 4 without an access restriction, plus a basketball court and a cricket ground in Sector 6; most other courts in the layout are tagged private, inside apartment complexes.
• Roots Football School, Sector 5 — a football pitch near Agara Lake.
• Outdoor gym equipment — 8 fitness stations are mapped in the layout's parks: 3 in Sector 5, 2 each in Sectors 3 and 6, and 1 in Sector 1.
• Swimming — all 7 pools mapped inside the layout are private apartment pools; no public pool is mapped. The nearest mapped coaching pools are the Nisha Millet Swimming Academy at Turfpark, Koramangala (about 4.1 km on foot from 20th Cross Road) and Majesstine Sports Academy on 5th Cross Road, south of the layout.

Which HSR Layout sector has the most parks?

Sector 6, with 10 mapped parks in 0.85 km² — about 12 parks per square kilometre. Sector 1 has 8, but spread across 2.24 km², the sparsest in the layout after Sector 5. Sectors 3 and 4, the two smallest sectors, are the greenest per square kilometre after Sector 6.

Most of these are the small BDA neighbourhood parks the layout was planned with: a fenced block or two of lawn, a walking path and a gate, maintained by the BBMP. Three named parks in Sector 1 — Nethravathi, Kaveri and Hemavati — sit along 27th Main Road's residential side. In Sector 7, where HSR Stay is opening, the nearest mapped park is about 150 m from 20th Cross Road.

What time do parks in HSR Layout open?

BBMP parks are meant to be open from 5 am to 10 pm, after the civic body dropped the older split hours in June 2024. On the ground the change is uneven: OpenStreetMap still records 5 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 8 pm on several HSR Layout parks, including Swabhiman Park and four in Sector 4, and Agara Lake Park is recorded as 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm. If a midday walk matters to you, check the gate of the park you intend to use.

How long is the Agara Lake walking track?

One lap of the Agara Lake Trail is about 2.4 km on OpenStreetMap: a lit, compacted path about 2 m wide, with bicycles not allowed, around an 80-acre (32 ha) lake on the layout's northern edge. A separate one-way cycle track of about 2.5 km, paved and lit, runs beside it, and a 0.6 km spur of the trail branches off at the eastern end. Entry is free.

The lake sits between Sectors 1, 4 and 5 and the Outer Ring Road. From each sector's centre in a straight line it is: Sector 4 0.6 km, Sector 5 0.8 km, Sector 1 0.9 km, Sector 3 1.2 km, Sectors 6 and 7 1.3 km, Sector 2 1.4 km. On foot from 20th Cross Road in Sector 7, the southern end of the lake track is about 1.2 km (16 minutes) and the north-west end of the trail about 2.0 km (27 minutes).

Where else can you run or walk in HSR Layout?

• The HSR BBMP Ground track, Sector 2 — an asphalt loop of about 370 m for interval work, beside the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sports Complex; 1.5 km on foot from 20th Cross Road.
• ITI Layout Lake Park — a 2.9 ha park on a small lake just south-west of Sector 7, about 1.3 km (18 minutes) on foot from 20th Cross Road.
• Somasundarapalya Lake Park — a 4 ha park with a path of about 1 km around a 2.5 ha lake, just south of Sector 2; about 2.3 km (31 minutes) on foot from 20th Cross Road.
• The grid itself — HSR Layout's main and cross roads are straight, numbered and mostly flat, which makes an out-and-back run easy to measure; the quieter residential cross roads of Sectors 3, 4 and 6 are the ones with the most parks to loop through.
• Madiwala Lake — the larger lake west of Silk Board is about 4.2 km on foot from 20th Cross Road, a run rather than a walk.

How far are the gyms, parks and lake from HSR Stay?

From 20th Cross Road in Sector 7, the nearest mapped park is a 2-minute walk, the nearest gym 6 minutes, and the Agara Lake track about 16 minutes. Walking routes measured on OpenStreetMap, 6 October 2026.

OpenStreetMap still records the older 5 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 8 pm hours on several HSR Layout parks, and Agara Lake Park is recorded as 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm, so check the gate for the park you want.
