Dr. Annie Besant Park is an urban park at Chennai, India. Technically a traffic island, it gained prominence due to its location at the Marina Beach.

'Fishermen at the Buckingham Canal' statue

The triangular park is technically a traffic island.

In 2010, a thematic sculpture of a boat, called the 'Fishermen at the Buckingham Canal', designed by the students of Government College of Arts and Crafts, Chennai, was installed by the Corporation of Chennai.[1]

The park is one of the seven entry points to the beach where drop gates have been planned by the Corporation.[2]
