Weras Ganga Park

We visited the Weras Ganga park with the family yesterday. Kids love going cycling there. And we see many familys coming for a good weekend work out. The full circle is 3 km long and marked at every 100th meter you pass. So you can easily keep a track of how much you have walked so far. It generally takes about 40 to 45 min to complete one circle walking in moderate pace. And it takes half the time to cycle one length.

You can either bring your own bicycle or you can rent a bicycle from there. About few months back there was only one place to rent a bicycle which was inside the Weras Premisses. And I have had to stand in the queue for more than an hour for the bicycle. But now the good news is there are other third parties who have open out bicycle renting places just out side the Weras Park. One is located just opposite the the Weras Entrace, next to the Burger shop. Then there is another new bicycle rent out place opened just next to the Bellanwilla temple too. To rent a bicycle you need to keep a Rs 200 refundable deposit with your ID card. And the charges are Rs 100 per hour. I think that is a reasonable amount thinking of the hassle in bring a bicycle all the way from home.

This is one of the latest walk ways build in Colombo, there are other walk ways in Colombo like Diyatha Uyana and the Arcade.

The Wera Park has an amazing out door restaurant atmosphere where you can purchase food from food court. There is variety of food like Shwarma, Paper Thosai, Fries rice, fish and chips, to Kola kantha and fruit juices too.

There is also a live band on Saturday night at the food court. Which makes the atmosphere even more entertaining. If you every come to Colombo this is place you should visit.
