Jilani Park — better known as the Race Course Park — is one of Lahore's largest and most popular public parks, occupying the site of the former colonial horse-racing track. Walking paths loop the perimeter, with a large lake at the centre and the city's main Japanese garden in the south-east corner.
The annual spring flower show (March) is a major event; on regular weekends the park is full of joggers in the early morning and families in the late afternoon. Free entry; closed midnight to about 5 a.m.
