Lake Gardens / Taman Tasik Perdana
Located at Jalan Perdana, Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik Perdana) dates to the 1880s and is the city's most popular park.
The brainchild of Alfred Venning, the British State Treasurer in the 1880s, this botanical garden, set amid lakes in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, is the city dweller's favourite rendezvous.
Here, you may see a sprawling 91.6 hectares of close-cropped lawns, undulating hills and carefully cultivated gardens. It provides a showcase of harmony, beauty and tranquility created by both man and nature.
Built around two lakes, the tropical garden is a pleasant oasis within the city providing a cool and soothing ambience as one walks through a vista of exotic blooms, luxuriant foliage, imposing sculptures, creative theme parks and majestic-looking raintrees.
Lake Gardens offers locals and visitors a wide range of facilities such as children's playground, jogging tracks, exercise stations and rowing boats.
The Panggung Anniversary, set in a secluded valley, is a regular venue for musical and cultural performances. While other attractions within the park include a bird park, a butterfly park, a deer park and flower gardens.
