There are two structures: the Promenade Pavilion and the Pier of the complex (elevated sandstone public walkway) which is named after Lady Lloyd, wife of then Governor of Bombay Sir George Lloyd.[2] This is evident in the marble plaque embedded in the pier wall that reads, "Lady Lloyd Pier".[2] ConstructionInspired by Lady Lloyd, this promenade pier and pavilion was constructed at a cost of approximately British-Indian Rupees 300,000, and was donated to the people of Karachi by Jahangir Hormusji Kothari. The pavilion structure was inaugurated by Lady Lloyd on 5 January 1920 while the pier was inaugurated on 21 March 1921.[2] RenovationIn June 2005, City District Government Karachi (CDGK) started extensive renovation work of the promenade pier and pavilion. The project covered the surrounding large area on both sides of Lady Lloyd Pier and after some delays, the project was finally inaugurated on February 27, 2007 by the then President Pervez Musharraf. The finished project became Pakistan's largest park, Bagh Ibne Qasim. It was constructed on 130 acres of land around the pier and the newly formed park was named as Bagh Ibne Qasim in memory of the 8th century Arab Muslim conqueror Muhammad Bin Qasim.[3] The park consists of extensive lighting, pathways and green spaces. The Lady Loyd Pier runs down the middle of the park. 'Bin Qasim' park - as it is referred to by locals - shares the vicinity with another park, called 'Beach Park'. This park is spread over an area of 47 acres and has been constructed along the city's coastal driveway on the South.[4] The shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi is situated close by. See also
