The Diyatha Uyana Park built on the banks of the Diyawanna Oya was opened in September 2012. Since its inception, it has succeeded in attracting people from all walks of life from all over the country apart from those living in the vicinity. Built in a marshland the park can be easily reached from the commercial capital. It is an ideal place for families to spend some quality away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The shooting colorful jets of water of the musical water fountain add much vibrancy to the whole set.
The lush greenery and the peaceful environment as the waters of the Diyawanna Oya flow placidly, in addition to the water fountain close by, have provided the public with an ideal place in which to unwind, whatever time of day. A reservoir was also built close to the Water’s Edge Hotel to take in rainwater so as to prevent floods during monsoonal rains.
As one passes the Diyawanna Oya one cannot help but notice the green garden chairs placed in strategic locations for the public to relax in, take the weight off their feet, and enjoy the surroundings. As you are walking in the park you will find beautiful flower shops which are located on the banks of the Diyawanna Oya waters. This was recently opened to the public. You will have the ability to walk along the riverside. You can even take a river-boat ride. Here you will find a leaf-shaped bus stop, cement seats and tables and a central water fountain. There is a fountain with changing colors and children’s play areas.
