A major part of what makes Hulhumale a perfect alternative to Male is the serene atmosphere of Hulhumale Central Park, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the capital island city. Here’s what you need to know about this landmark green oasis.
Design and Concept
The Hulhumale Central Park was designed as a modern city park and thus features natural beauty and recreational facilities. As such, it is a popular spot for visitors of various age groups who arrive at the park for different purposes.
Recreational Areas
The park is a favoured locale for the sporty types and fitness enthusiasts, as it has a popular jogging trail, a football field and a basketball court. It is also a safe area for children with an entertaining play area equipped with slides, swings and more.
Natural Beauty
A large part of the park’s appeal comes from its scenic beauty – it is home to a number of colourful tropical flowers and plants, as well as an artificial lake with a bridge. This makes it perfect for those who want to enjoy a leisurely stroll or a quiet picnic before heading to their Maldives villas or resort, whether it be in Male or elsewhere in the atoll like OBLU SELECT Sangeli.
Visiting the Park
The park is open throughout the year but the best time of day to visit is in the morning or evening. Located right in the heart of the island, it is easily accessible either on foot, by bike or by public transport.
