It's a big area that overlooks the Indian Ocean and the Port City which is under construction now. It has a lot of food vendors, toy sellers, ice cream trucks and tons of kites flying around. Try to avoid during public holidays and weekends. As it gets too crowded. You can fly a kite, kids can run around, pony rides. The food sold there is absolutely delicious. It's walking distance from a few five star hotels like Hilton , Kingsbury, Taj Samudra,Galadari, Sheraton, Ramada and Galle Face hotel. And, it's best to visit when it's closer to sunset (as earlier during the day it's quite hot). Enjoy!

A large number of water monitors, butterflies, insects and other birds tend to catch your attention as you walk through the muddy paths of the sanctuary. The biodiversity of this place is highly commendable, as you cannot help but feel awe-struck at the diverse species of birds here. As the place is replete with mosquitoes, you need to be fully covered while visiting the park.
