An Arjuna Ranatunga-type belly was a common sight in Colombo ten years ago. Many members of that generation did not care much about physical fitness, but oh have the times changed!
One of the main reasons for this change is the fact that several parks have been landscaped across Colombo. My beloved Nugegoda has a wonderful park that is just a 5-minute walk away from the post office. A lagoon flows through the park, which is blessed with an abundance of wildlife from monitor lizards to a variety of birds.
There's also a wonderful and big park coming up off the High Level Road in Pepilyana Road. This is in addition to an enormous park near the Bellanwila Temple, which has a nice bicycle track as well.
I also saw some new parks in the city centre and the Jayawardenepura Kotte area, near the parliament.
People make great use of these parks, as well as the beach on Mount Lavinia. This is an absolutely welcome change in Colombo.
