Diyasuru Park

wetland park

Secure Parking

Watching Time : 30 Minutes

Amazing Experience

A 24-hectare biodiversity park established in 2017 in the eastern extent of Kotte’s wetland network(Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022). It features wetlands and lakes with boardwalks and viewing towers. Like Beddagana, Diyasaru (meaning “rich in biodiversity”) offers nature trails popular with birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, and hosts educational programs for students. Together, Diyasaru and Beddagana – only a few kilometers apart – form part of a “popular birding circuit” where visitors can easily visit multiple wetlands in a single day(Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022). This proposal considers Diyasaru Park as an integral attraction to be linked in the Kotte eco-tourism itinerary.

    A cool wetland with birds, squirrels, and fowls. There was a wooden bridge joining two buildings above the swamp near the entrance. The lotus pond was beautiful.
