Lakeside miles around the Parliament Ground area
The public walking paths around Parliament Ground offer a different starting area from Diyatha Uyana. The surrounding Diyawanna lakeside and Japan–Sri Lanka Friendship Road corridor are used for walking and jogging.
A simple way to explore
Explore the public ground-side paths first, then repeat an accessible section or choose a turnaround. Keep road crossings separate from your running effort.
What to look out for
- Share the space with walkers and families.
- Stay on designated paths beside the water.
- Check temporary access restrictions before travelling for a group run.
Facilities and access
Check nearby refreshment and parking options on the day. Bring what you need for your chosen distance. Use public paths only. Follow current barriers and security instructions; access to Parliament itself is not included.
