The Guindy National Park is 1 Km from the Guindy station, sprawling over hundreds of acres and interspersed with different species of endangered trees. This is a recommended picnic spot for the entire family.

Once this was a part of Governor's Estate, now it is fragmented and the major part is a thickly forested game sanctuary.

This park on the southern outskirts of Chennai, is so vast that spotting wildlife can be difficult. However, it's the only place in the world where it's still possible to see herds of the fast-dwindling species of Indian antelope (black buck). It also has small numbers of spotted deer, civet cats jackals, mongoose and various species of monkeys. Perhaps this is the world's only game reserve within the city limits.
