Located in the cantonment area is the St. John's Church Jhelum which was built in 1860. St. John's Church is an Anglican church, now under the Church of Pakistan. It is a Protestant Church and was in use during the British colonial period. For forty years it remained closed, but has been renovated and re-opened.
The district also has some other sightseeing places. There was a local stadium near Gul Afshan Colony which was changed to a cricket stadium named Zamir Jaffri Cricket Stadium. Altaf Park which was constructed in 1994–95 is in a very close proximity of the cricket stadium. Nearly 100 m from Shandar Chowk, in the center of city, is Major Akram Shaheed Memorial Park. Major Muhammad Akram Memorial Library is also present in this park. This is also a site of a parade which takes place every year on 6th September at the occasion of Defence Day.
