Mahamevnāwa Park in Anuradhapura, Historic park in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

Mahamevnāwa Park features extensive walking paths through landscaped gardens with diverse plant species, offering visitors multiple areas for recreation and relaxation.

King Mutasiva established this park between 367 and 307 BC, naming it after a heavy rainfall that occurred during its creation.

The park houses several Buddhist monuments, including the Samadhi Statue, Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, and Ruvanveli stupa, making it central to Sri Lankan heritage.

The park maintains regular opening hours and connects to other archaeological sites in Anuradhapura through a network of pedestrian paths.

During excavations that started in 1884, workers discovered multiple ancient structures hidden beneath dense jungle growth for centuries.
