Diyawanna Jogging Track

Japan Friendship Road, Battaramulla

The jogging track opposite the Sri Lankan Parliament (Japan Friendship Road) has been a marvelous success at gathering large crowds of people. Covering a distance of 1880M, it is probably the longest track in the vicinity of Colombo, not to mention one of the most picturesque; solar powered lights span the length of the course creating a beautiful skyline by night.

The jogging track opposite the Sri Lankan Parliament (Japan Friendship Road) has been a marvelous success at gathering large crowds of people. Covering a distance of 1880m, it is probably the longest track in the vicinity of Colombo, not to mention one of the most picturesque; solar powered lights span the length of the course creating a beautiful skyline by night.

The car park on the far end accommodates for plenty of visitors, although you might find yourself waiting for a parking spot on a crowded weekend. On the near end of the track is a fairly sized sitting area with concrete tables and chairs, perfect for a rest after a light workout. The Sri Lankan Navy also run their ferry service here.

The place is really beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. With new jogging tracks coming up in several places around the island, I think it’s safe to say that the lifestyle of the common man is gradually evolving. Finally, people have somewhere to go and the means for a healthier way of life. And by the looks of it, this is just the start.

My outdoor Gym! Absolutely awesome. Love jogging their in the mornings. In the evenings you must go before the lights come on as they attract a lot of insects.
