Best parks in Siem Reap

Where to get out — Siem Reap's parks, gardens and green pockets

Siem Reap's outdoor side: parks worth a morning run, gardens worth a Sunday picnic, and the green pockets that make the city bearable in October and beautiful by January. Curated for visitors who want some sky between their meetings, and locals who keep forgetting these are options.

When Siem Reap's parks are at their best

Most of the parks below peak between November and February — cool mornings, low pollution, the gardens at their floral peak. The summer months are best avoided between 11 AM and 4 PM; sunrise visits are still magical. Monsoon (June–September) is unpredictable but the green takes on a saturation you can't see otherwise.

Running and walking

Siem Reap has a handful of parks with dedicated jogging loops — typically 1.5–3 km, well-marked, well-lit at dawn and dusk. The serious runners' parks are listed first. Most allow dogs (on leash); a few have specific dog parks within them.

Picnics and access

Picnicking is permitted at most public parks in Siem Reap but private gardens and conservancy sites usually aren't picnic-friendly. Entry fees are nominal where applicable. Toilet facilities are inconsistent — assume basic and you won't be disappointed.
