This well-maintained urban park wraps around a scenic lake, with beautiful bridges, shaded walkways, and photo-worthy views at every turn. I visited in the morning when the weather was still cool and the park was alive with joggers, cyclists, and families. The sight of reflections dancing on the lake, along with the gentle sounds of birds and flowing water, created a calming start to the day. There are also unique viewpoints — especially the red bridges and gazebos by the water — that are perfect for photography and quiet reflection. Travel Tips and How to Get There: • Best time to visit: Early morning or late afternoon for cooler weather and softer light. • What to bring: Water, hat/cap, camera, and walking shoes. • Recommended experiences: • Walk or jog along the looping lakeside paths. • Relax at one of the gazebos by the lake. • Bring kids or friends for a picnic session under the trees. • Visit nearby landmarks like Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque after. • Good for: Families, joggers, nature lovers, photographers. • Vibe: Peaceful, green, and refreshing. How to Get There: • By car: Easily accessible by car; parking is available around the park. • By train + Grab: Take KTM to Shah Alam station, then a short Grab ride. • By bus: Local buses service the area, but frequency may vary. • Combine with: A visit to i-City, Shah Alam mosque, or Shah Alam Gallery for a full day.
