Batticaloa gandhi park

Today i went to the famous park in Batticaloa.its known as Gandhi park it has amazing lagoon view and nature surrounded  as well.This lovely modern park along Old Batti's waterfront is popular with strolling couples and includes features such as the Batticaloa Gate, which was a 19th-century welcoming arch to the harbour. There is a golden statue of Mahatma Gandhi built to honor this great Indian leader. A few steps away from the door, the statue of Reverend William Ault was the first Methodist missionary to disembark in Batticaloa in 1814. Batticaloa Gate is one of the extreme points of boat rides from the lagoon.Its large park has long walkways with many features of interest that are perfect for family picnics, gatherings and  fitness activities. As it is located on the waterfront of the Batticaloa Lagoon, you could also witness some fishermen and other small boats going about their daily runs. Coupled with the history of the Batticaloa Gate, the park is a mixture of everything you need, to relax and reflect on the interesting culture and lifestyles of the people of Batticaloa. If you are lucky you could also see some exotic bird species hanging out on the treetops.

its belongs to Batticaloa Municipal council. they maintain that park clean.Because its a major attraction for local and foreign tourists.This is a perfect hangout spot to enjoy the views of the lagoon, and small canoes with fishermen.more over near that park there is a public library and small museum.i think Batticaloa gate and Gandhi park still stands high in the list of places visited by a lot of people.because i saw many tourists there.its good destination for have good time with friends and family.
