Shakarparian
شکرپڑیاں
A hilltop park in the south of the city, with viewing terraces and rose and jasmine gardens. It sits right beside the Pakistan Monument and the Lok Virsa Museum.
Shakarparian is one of the earliest parks planned in Islamabad. It sits on a hill, and its viewpoints overlook both Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The park has commemorative trees planted during visits by foreign heads of state. The nearby rose and jasmine gardens host flower shows in spring. The Pakistan Monument, Lok Virsa Museum and Pakistan Museum of Natural History are all in this area, making it suitable for a half-day itinerary. Entry to the park is free.
