About
Quick facts: Morning yoga sessions and tai chi classes bring an energizing start to the day for many visitors. Lakes dotted with graceful monitor lizards create a quirky contrast to the urban skyline surrounding the park.
Highlights: Every morning at 6:30 AM, a group of Tai Chi practitioners gather around the large artificial lake, their slow movements creating a serene rhythm against the backdrop of chirping kingfishers. The park's giant monitor lizards, some reaching up to 2 meters, stealthily roam the grassy areas, offering a surprising glimpse of wildlife in the heart of the bustling city.
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight breathable clothes and comfortable shoes; paths can be uneven and the sun is strong midday.
- Head to the eastern lake at sunrise to photograph local tai chi groups with soft light and calm water reflections.
- Bring mosquito repellent for early morning or evening visits, especially near dense foliage.
- Skip food stalls inside the park if on a budget, buy drinks and snacks at nearby convenience stores before entering.
