The sandalwood park in the Capital

 

                 Another place I was amazed and proud of was “ National Sandun Uyana” on the Japan friendship road, Battaramulla. I came to Punchi's house in Nugegoda with a change as I was trapped at home with the Corona pandemic. That evening we went for a walk to the Jogging Path in Parliament. 

                      This is a slightly different experience for me. I've been here before but that day I saw a new change. It is really an amazing experience for me still. At that time, I thought that I was just in another country. The scene is truly captivating. With light all around, a lot of people walk around like that freely. I saw that the little ones were very happy. 

                    At first, it looked like a small garden but I saw its value when I went inside. 1000 sandalwood trees have already been planted here and it was realized that they are well maintained. Having such a nature park in a very urban environment and giving another value to a sandalwood tree like a very valuable plant was considered something to be highly appreciated.

                           And the most important thing I find when I look for more about this is that there are about 900 white sandalwood plants and about 300 red sandalwood plants. Sandalwood is also known for its aroma and medical properties and its ability to release 7 times more oxygen than any other plant. When I left Sadun Park, thought I wanted to come here again with my friends after University Started.
