This is quite possibly the nicest park space in Colombo, if you can get past the sometimes defensive security guards. The Mount Lavinia Children's Park is quite expressly for children, at least until four. Even then, certain activities (playing cricket or football for example) are banned. These rules, however, are part of what makes the space so peaceful. That plus the view.
