People's Park
ပြည်သူ့ဥယျာဉ်
A large city park west of the Shwedagon Pagoda with lawns, fountains, a retired airplane display and a viewing tower. You can also see the Shwedagon from inside the park.
People's Park lies between the Shwedagon Pagoda and the former parliament site, covering about 130 acres. Inside are wide lawns, a fountain plaza, children's play equipment, a retired passenger jet and an old locomotive on display, and a viewing tower overlooking the west gate of the Shwedagon. The park is clean and quiet, making it ideal for children or for resting before or after visiting the Shwedagon. Foreigners pay a small entrance fee, and local families often picnic here in the evening.
