This lake give water to the twin urban communities as well as help in water system.

On both sides of the Rawal Lake two parks have been developed. One is the recently development, arranged on Murree street and is called as "Lake View Park". Lake see Park is new that is the reason it is accepting more guests in comparision to the Rawal Dam stop which is bit more established. Rawal Dam.....with a lake in and a Park around, in capital Islamabad " An excellent blend of water and gardens" One's goal is never a place … Another one which iam going to say here is more established one and is arranged close " Rawal Dam".

Both parks are shafts apart.Locals oftentimes visit here amid nights. Dusk at Rawal Lake is exceptionally delightful. Many individuals visit here, sit

here and unwind. The range around the lake have been embellished with various kind of trees, patio nurseries, strolling tracks and so on.

Stairs prompting to this top point from the greenhouses. I have specified these lights as "acclaimed light lights" since it has a specific foundation behind. 

 

In the event that some body ever watched Pakistan old films of Shabnam, Babra and so on, you may see the heroin moving around these lights , that have been introduced here in these patio nurseries. Those days the majority of the movies shooted in Islamabad, Murree Hills. "Rawal Dam Park" and "Shakar Pariyan" were the two most loved parks for the motion picture chiefs in Islamabad.
