Diyasaru Park, Urban wetland park in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Sri Lanka
Diyasaru Park spans 60 acres with artificial ponds, canals, and wooden boardwalks crossing through diverse vegetation areas and water bodies.
The Land Reclamation and Development Corporation transformed this marshland near the Parliament Complex into a biodiversity park, opening to visitors in 2017.
The name Diyasaru originates from Sinhala language meaning rich in water, reflecting the park's role in preserving local aquatic ecosystems.
Visitors can access the park daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with special early morning hours reserved for wildlife photographers starting at sunrise.
The park houses over 50 migratory bird species, 15 fish varieties including three endemic to Sri Lanka, and serves as habitat for endangered fishing cats.
