Lonuziyaaraiy Park 🇲🇻

Located at Henveiru ward on the southeast coast of Malé, Lonuziyaaraiy Park offers you a unique garden experience right near the Sinamalé Bridge. Spanning three acres on land reclaimed with concrete terrain, this municipal park officially opened in November 2020 after a state budget investment of MVR 16.8 million. Historically, the area was designated for helicopter landings and served as a favorite spot for local outdoor activities and family gatherings.

When you visit, you can explore five distinct sections named Medhu Bageecha, Varunulaa, Raalhugandu, Uss Bageecha, and Maamelaameli. As you stroll through the grounds, you will see a scenic pond spanned by small bridges, alongside dedicated lanes designed specifically for cycling and jogging. If you need a moment to relax, you can sit on one of the 300 benches placed throughout the area.

While you explore this transformed coastal space, keep in mind that local public scrutiny has noted maintenance challenges by the city council over time. Whether you want to exercise on the designated tracks or simply take in the local history next to Malé's major bridge landmark, Lonuziyaaraiy Park provides a distinct public setting on the capital's southeastern shoreline.
