Location: –
It is good to visit this public place close to Kashmir highway near Islamabad if you have time of around two to three hours, you can walk and enjoy multiple type of entertainments. Especially I would like to mention fun in boating rides. I have visited this place many times during childhood, it was more peaceful at that time, though it was renovated during the time of Gen. Musharaf government, but maintenance of this park and improvement in culinary facilities was never improved. The government should make this park more clean and green to attract foreign tourists, this will help in generating revenue along with promotion of our culture and tradition.
Historical Background:-
Initially, Rawal Lake was built as water reservoir in 1962, during the era of Ayub Khan by the Punjab government, in order to fulfill the needs of water of twin cities. The park is also commonly known as Rawal Lake Promenade or Lake View Park. The sincere efforts of Kamran Lashari, the chairman CDA, reshaped the open park into a recreational spot.
