Lake View Park (also known as Rawal Lake View Point or Rawal Lake Promenade) is a wildlife park, amusement park and adventure park located near Malpur village at the edge of Rawal lake in Islamabad, Pakistan. It runs under the administration of Capital Development Authority.[1] It is considered as a major hub for festivals and events, particularly during spring and winter. Flower exhibitions, bird shows, and national holiday celebrations have drawn tourists to the facility.
The park contains the third-largest walk-in bird aviary in the world,[2] which was inaugurated in 2013. It is 80 feet high, and covers 3.8 acres. 4,000 birds belonging to 300 different species are housed here[3] The recreation park employs more than 230 CDA employees, including cultivators, security personnel, gardeners, and other administrative staff.[4]
