Paruthipattu Lake

[2] The lake remained one of the neglected waterbodies in the western suburbs for long, shrinking to 8 acres (3.2 ha).

[3] In 2018, the Water Resources Department restored the lake at a cost of ₹ 280 million in two phases, developing it into an eco-tourism spot.

[1] The lake serves as a source for groundwater recharge in the neighbouring areas, such as Adhiparasakthi Nagar and Govardhanagiri.

These are the major problems at present, since the water of the monsoon showers moves inside of the buildings as they are in the area of the lake.

[7] The eco-park surrounding the lake consists of a 3-km-long walking track, children's play area, refreshment block, a central plaza for public gathering, a boat deck with three landing areas, a couple of islands for nesting birds, an open-air theatre, an administration office building, and vehicle parking lot.
