Various facilities transform scenic lake garden into vibrant recreational space
TAMAN Tasik Titiwangsa in Jalan Kuantan is a 46.13ha recreational park in Kuala Lumpur that is popular with locals and visitors.
Among its attractions are a playground, maze garden, canopy walk and scenic lake.
Construction on the site began in 1975 and the park was officially opened five years later on Feb 1, 1980, by the late prime minister Tun Hussein Onn.
Formerly known as Taman Jalan Kuantan, it was renamed Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, after the Titiwangsa Range.
Set against a naturally landscaped backdrop, the park includes a former mining pond and open spaces now filled with flowering plants and shady trees.
Thanks to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the park has been transformed into a vibrant recreational space, with many amenities that attract visitors to come and spend time at the park.
Wide walking paths and bicycle lanes provide ample space for families to walk, ride and cycle together.
Paddle boats make for a fun activity for the whole family.
The more adventurous can try kayaking at the lake.
Some enjoy taking photos and watching the sunset at the park.
Flowering plants add colour and vibrancy to the open spaces at the lake. (Above)
