Lake Gardens

The Lake Gardens date to the 1880s and the 91.6 hectares make up this city's most popular park. Built around a man-made lake, the park is more than just a plain old patch of green grass and shrubbery; the Panggung Anniversary set in one of the valleys is a regular venue for musical and cultural performances, and there are a variety of botanical gardens, a children's playground, jogging tracks, exercise stations and rowing boats too. Free Tai Chi and aerobic classes are also regularly held on weekend mornings.
