The park is named after the late Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra for his bravery during the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The park is situated near the ISRO residential layout, reflecting the area's strong connection to India’s space research community.
The park's design incorporates a commemorative memorial statue of the officer to honor his sacrifice.
It remains one of the few urban neighborhood parks in South Bangalore specifically dedicated to a military hero.
Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Children's Park is a tribute to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack hero and NSG commando Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Located in the ISRO Layout neighborhood of Bangalore, the park serves as both a children’s play area and a memorial space. The grounds feature a dedicated statue of the Major, marking its role as a site for local civic pride. It is equipped with standard recreational facilities including slides, swings, and climbing frames for children. The park is maintained by the local municipal body and serves as a green buffer in the residential surroundings of Prasanti Nagar. It is categorized as a community park rather than a large-scale botanical garden.
