Soon Chennaites can spend the day fishing at Chetpet lake and relaxing on its banks. People can bring their own fishing poles or rent them and park themselves on the dock for a while. The fisheries department and the Chennai Corporation are working on a plan to turn the lake. People can bring their own fishing poles or rent them and park themselves on the dock for a while. Nine months ago, the state government announced a 42-crore makeover for the lake.

Though the water remains blackish after the cleanup, officials and consultants are happy with the work. The area surrounding the lake will have a food court with seafood, a children’s play area and park, a walking and jogging track and a multi-level parking lot for 60 cars and 100 two wheelers. The government plans an angler’s dock on the Spurtank Road side of the lake.
