City life can be rather hectic. To take a breather, many throng to recreational parks. Lush greenery and tranquil surroundings give us respite from the hustle bustle of the city life, and help us rejuvenate.
We at the Klang Valley are blessed with several wonderful recreational parks, some of them rather breathtaking in splendour.
1. KLCC Park
The 50-acre KLCC Park is perhaps the most iconic and beloved public parks in Malaysia. It features a 1.3km jogging track, an epic 2-acre children's playground, a wading pool, patterned footpaths and sculptures, and home to 1,900 indigenous trees from 74 species.
2. Perdana Botanical Garden, Kuala Lumpur
The Perdana Botanical Garden (formerly known as Taman Tasik Perdana or Lake Gardens) has long been a part of KL's green lung. This park is unique in that it has elements of a show garden, and the ambiance of a tropical rainforest despite being in the middle of KL.
3. Bukit Kiara Park, TTDI
