This beautiful park in the
heart of Seremban town is ringed by many interesting
buildings such as the State Assembly, the State Mosque,
the State Library and Istana Hinggap, the city palace of
the State's Ruler. The State Assembly Building located
close to the park combines both modern and traditional
design, with unique local craftwork incorporated into its
elegant interior while the library is a fine Edwardian
building with arches and columns. The main crowd puller
here in the Lake Gardens are the two magnificent lakes,
jogging tracks and the mini bird park.
Fronting the lake is another
building with a captivating design, the State Mosque
with a roof hung from nine pillars, representing the
founding historical districts of Negeri Sembilan. Within the park
is the State Library, a two-storey colonial edifice
built in 1912 which once served as the State
Secretariat.
On its ground, ablaze with
flowers, stands a monument as a memorial to the fallen heroes of World
War II and Communist Insurgency. Besides the sites, you
can take a stroll in the fresh air and bracing greenery
of the park, watch feathered species at the Bird Park,
go for a jog along the placid lake or take the kids to
the children's playground.
