Royal Palace Park - Kandy

Positive Side: Royal Palace Park is truly a tranquil oasis in the heart of Kandy. Nestled on a hilltop, it offers some of the most beautiful elevated views of the city and Kandy Lake. The park is incredibly well-maintained, featuring lush gardens, vibrant tropical flowers, and shaded pathways that make it the perfect spot for a relaxing stroll or a quiet escape from the city’s hustle. If you are looking for a place to sit, breathe, and enjoy nature, the scenery here is unmatched. Negative Side: Unfortunately, the peaceful atmosphere was completely ruined at the very beginning of the visit. The cashier at the entrance was dismissive and noticeably rude when I asked a simple question about the entry fees. This attitude continued with the security guard, who was unnecessarily aggressive and lacked basic hospitality. Instead of feeling welcomed into a historical landmark, I felt like a nuisance. While the park’s beauty and its historical significance to the Kandyan monarchy are undeniable, the management desperately needs to train its staff in customer service. It’s a shame to have such a world-class location let down by such unprofessional behavior.

This is NOT the botanical garden you heard about!!!!! Some reviews are not for this park but the very botanical park that is 7 km away from here. Foreign tourists have to pay 500 rupees for nothing. No flowers, toilets are broken, lots of construction going on. Don’t waste your money visiting here. You can not really overlook Kandy lake from here either! However, this is a popular spot for local couples to date here. A small park that you can finish touring in 10 mins have at least 20 couples making out. Super awkward when I visited. But it’s true that this place is quiet.

Admission fees for foreigners may seem more expensive than for locals. However, once you enter and take a walk around the park, you will be satisfied with more than the ticket price. It's a truly great place, whether for healing or learning. I recommend this place as a place you should not miss if you visit Kandy.

Small but nice relaxing park. Shop just outside to grab a drink and some snacks. Lots of benches and seating areas inside to chill out. 100 baht entry the park has a lot of names so don’t worry if you don’t see the correct sign. There are diggers and construction going on inside but at the Time I was there no one was working. Birds and wild life here. Overall it’s worth checking out.

The Royal Palace Park, also known as Wales Park, or Rajawasala Park, is a small park on top a small hill in the heart of the city of Kandy, that overlooks the Kandy Lake and most of the city. Very beautiful garden spend your free time. Very calm and quiet place.

This park does not provide views across Kandy Lake. It does however provide lots of awkward interactions with local couples getting familiar with each other behind umbrellas and rucksacks as you walk around. The gardens aren’t anything special, but might provide a welcome quiet zone if you don’t mind the lovemaking! Prices: Local price 100rs Tourist price 500rs

Very beautiful Park Area in the Center of Kandy. Peaceful and quiete. The Entrance Fee is 100rps. Nice to have a little walk there. It’s easy to walk up there from the Kandy Lake.

It's located at the middle of Kandy town. But it's not popular like other parks or gardens in Sri Lanka. From my visiting experience, this park very comfortable and suitable only for couples and lovers. Otherwise just avoid this place. Actually it is a small park. Not attractive entrance No more flowers The mini pool was dried Entrance fee 100/= per adult Not recommended for family trip or friends trip
