November to April (dry season) for lower rainfall and more comfortable sightseeing; early morning or late afternoon visits to avoid the midday heat.

Tropical maritime climate — warm and humid year-round. Average daytime temperatures typically range from 25–31°C (77–88°F). Rain is more frequent from May to October.

Free to enter. As an urban public park, it is generally open during daylight hours (sunrise to sunset), though official opening hours are not usually posted — expect daytime accessibility.

Located in central Malé and reachable on foot from many nearby points. The nearest air access is Velana International Airport (on Hulhulé island) with a short ferry or speedboat transfer to Malé. Public transport within Malé is mostly walking; short taxi trips are available. Pathways in the park are basic — accessibility for wheelchairs or strollers may be limited in places.

Plan 30–60 minutes for a relaxed visit; combine with nearby attractions for a half-day of exploring Malé.

Light, breathable clothing, a hat and sunscreen for sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes. As Malé is part of a Muslim country, dress modestly in public areas (avoid revealing clothing) out of respect for local customs.

After visiting the park, explore nearby markets and cafés for local dishes such as mas huni (tuna and coconut) or short-order seafood snacks. Souvenirs to look for include handicrafts made from coconut, lacquered wooden items, and woven mats.
