About
Korte feiten: Lush lawns and giant banyan trees create a cool canopy where morning joggers, picnickers, and chatty parrots cross paths. A peaceful pond dotted with lotus, an open-air amphitheatre, and a small aviary offer a surprisingly diverse set of photo ops and quiet corners to explore.
Hoogtepunten: Golden light pools on the pond at dusk, dozens of lotus flowers mirroring street lamps while frangipani and jasmine scent the humid air. Photographers and local families time visits after brief tropical showers, capturing jewel-like droplets on petals that turn ordinary blooms into vivid macro subjects.
Insider tips
- Wear breathable clothing and comfortable shoes, paths can be uneven in places.
- Head to the lily pond and the large banyan trees at golden hour for the best photos.
- Visit on weekday mornings to avoid families and school groups that arrive later in the day.
- Keep valuables zipped and close, and carry a reusable water bottle to avoid buying drinks inside the park.
