Lake View Park
PAK
Whether you want natural beauty, a lesson in birdwatching, amusement, or a place to relax, Lake View Park in Islamabad delivers. Locals come here to stroll and chat. It’s suitable for all ages since there is a children’s play area and carousel, plus more exciting attractions like a paintball field and a go-kart track.
Tours to Lake View Park often come as part of an Islamabad city tour. A tour could be good to get your bearings, see what there is to offer, and plan a follow-up trip. It’s up to you how you want to enjoy the park. You can fish, ride horses, explore the walk-in aviary, head to the rock-climbing gym, or go boating. Bring the whole family and enjoy a picnic in designated areas.
- Lake View Park is also known as Rawal Lake View Point or Rawal Lake Promenade.
- Wear conservative clothes to be respectful of the residents.
- There are food stalls where you can purchase something to eat and barbecue pits that you can use.
There are a few ways to get to Lake View Park. You can either drive yourself or hire a driver for your entire stay in Islamabad, so you don’t have to navigate on your own and hail taxis or rideshares. You can also get there by public transportation. The Metro Bus is cheap, has Wi-Fi, and strong air-conditioning.
Summers are hot, and winters are chilly in Islamabad. Keep that in mind when planning your trip to Lake View Park. Spring and fall are your best bets for fewer tourists and temperatures conducive to doing activities, including boating, mini-golf, and picnicking. If visiting in summer, come in the cooler mornings or afternoons/evenings.
If you want a little more nature, head out of Islamabad to Margalla Hills and go for a hike. There are several trails in the area. Some are rockier, and some are better for little kids or beginner hikers. Think about coming around sunset, when you have a view of Islamabad illuminated at night.
