Not a public park. Beautiful greenery in hearts of KL not belong to public. Sold to YTL. Cannot jog and recreational activity with family. Now only foreigner guards and foreigner maintainance worker at park at 9 am. Brilliant Malaysia. At least in London big parks are public.

I strongly don’t recommend this park. There’s a very strange policy here. Photo cameras aren’t allowed (but I didn’t find any sign that I can’t use my camera). Unfortunately only tons of trash and homeless people are allowed here. Don’t waste your time in this park

Nice and calm
Place to walk lessoning birds songs

Unfortunately the street food inside SENTUL DEPOT is definitely closed. Was a a nice place but gone now 😢
Well maintained...
Nice and clean...
Nice place to spend time with your loved one.

Suggestions: If you wish to feed the fish and tortoise, then you can bring along some fish food, or mostly bread.

Decided to take my morning walk in Sentul Park on 12th Nov. I arrived at about 0830hrs. It was rather quiet with fewer than 10 people doing their morning walk. The air was fresh and birds were chirping. The Sentul Park is good for someone who wants to walk on a flat, paved surface. There are security guards on duty, mainly to ensure visitors do not roam into their private grounds.

It's a great place to jog, walk or having some recreational activities for families.
Just a few points for MBJB to look into it
- There's signboard that need to be replaced
- Some pavements needs to be repaired.
It damaged could have been caused by the land erosion.
- The project at the entrance has been there since 2 years ago, nothing has been done???
If this park is well maintained, it would be a wonderful place for people to spend their time for a healthier lifestyle!

Hutan Bandar is very big. It's a nice place to have morning or evening walks. There's a place where many orchids are planted. The playground area is big, recommended for ppl to bring their children here.

This is very beautiful park, redeveloped and beautified by YTL.

It is a PRIVATE park.

So, you cannot simply taking photos here. (Perhaps you can do it freely if you got written permission by the Management)

Based on my experience:

If it is common areas here, you just can take photos using phone. CANNOT use DSLR and any other professionally-looked cameras.

If it is restricted area, even using phone to take photos are not allowed.

However, I didn’t notice such rules being displayed in the area. I was just warned and prohibited by the security guards when they saw I did the posing here.

But, I respect such actions by and obey to the security guards because after all this place is the private park. Not a public park.

For those nature lovers, this place is sure must visit when you are in JB. There are 3 levels of lake which have so many kinds of fish such as Toman, Keli Afrika, Baung, Haruan, tilapia, lobster and turtles. Now, they add a new family of ducks to live there. So conducive

For recreation, there is also a playground for kids and a public toilet provided.

Generally, the place is okay with many food stalls to choose from during the weekend and can be crowded. However. not many stalls were operating when I was there on Monday. I'm not sure whether it is only on Monday or every day during weekdays.

The place is not well maintained, and some of the flooring are dangerous to walk on. Parking is adequate.
Amazing sight seeing and friendly local. But the area is quite smelly due to the clogged drainage system. Leaving an unpleasant smell.
Gorgeous forest reserve and park in the middle of the city, not far from downtown. Beautiful place to walk and enjoy the nature and greenery, lakes, trees, swamps, playgrounds, orchids, all peaceful and well maintained. Perfect for picnic and family time.

Aite, i can’t say much about this place other than the evening entertainment from buskers and food stalls around. Lightings has been enhanced everywhere, and it is fun to chill out here during the eveing. Although it seems safe here, please be cautious with your surrounding esp if you’re ain't a local here and alone. I suggest you bring pepperspray. If anything..It’ll come in handy.

Nice and beautiful place for walking and rest, but there are absolutely controversial rules. All signs allow dogs on the leash, moreover there is a dog play ground inside. At the same time guards forced us to leave every places we tried to enter due to management instruction to prohibit visitors with dogs. Surprising thing is that this instruction doesn’t cover the unowned street dogs which are plenty at the area.
A small park with not much people taking rest.
Friendly place - But nearly All Malay’s are super nice !! esp to foreigners - Nice peaceful park - nice picture spots or just a place to have a walk !

First time going to this place and its big. There's a lot of activities to do here. Rock climbing, reflexology area etc. If you have kids there's a lot of things for them to do including playgrounds and a waterpark area (open at certain timings). There's a band playing every Saturday too at the youth area. Food stalls can be found if you're hungry and the toilets are clean. Really glad I found this place.
Pleasant park with a walking path that circles the lake. Relatively small, but right off the Jelatek LRT station, and some shade. The path along the water requires stairs so this park is not wheelchair accessible, nor is it a good place for long distance running. There is a large playground and wide sidewalks for kids to scooter or bike. I saw biawak, turtles, and cats.
This is a small park right in the heart of the city centre. It has nice landscapes and garden for you to take a break. There is ample street parking but no rain shelter.
Please.. maintain the park ..in a proper way...there is dead with in the lake...all the fish is starving...please do feed the fish..turtle..poor them..A fish corpse will pollute water. The maintainences is not gud..it's unhygienic ...the water smells bad..the water is dirty..with mud ...and a be lot of flies....other than that.a very gud place to relax
There's a cenotaph here to commemorate 13 members of the Australian armed forces in defense of Sabah (British North Borneo).

a good place to random stroll around. have a small pond with big fishes, unfortunately not properly tended, i even got bitten by dengue mosquito by the pond.
not suitable for running since they don't have any walking track, only path meant for the car. not to mention most of the buildings in front are off-limits.
you can enjoy the birds chirping. overall, this place is good to spend time with family rather than for fitness activities.

You will not appreciate this place until you completely explore the whole place in this tiny jungle or you probably just don't like nature or you hate walking.

Even though it was located in middle of the town you still can hear the sound of the jungle which is amazing considering the size.

Now it was connected to newly setup TMIYC make it even more amazing.
The park is still good after so many years but there are rooms for improvement. Especially at night, the place seems so dark because most of the lights are not working. This will raise concern on the safety issue in this place.
Nice environment. Small lake. Clean compound. Within residential area.
Due to current covid, it closed at 7pm. An okay spot to jog in a loop quite short of a distance. The playground is relatively huge, kids like it. But currently close due to covid. Only tracks are open. Like the benches overlooking the lake. It's nice and shady.
The park is good but it's not well maintained like other parks, for the first time in Malaysia i saw flies and they will annoy you everything else is good not great but good🙃
Not keep need enough..Need more maintenance..Still good though
Crowded by cats, they're cute. Also funny ducks swimming and strolling there. Place to sit down and relax with nice view or, to the contrary, to exercise in open air gym and jog.
Good place at the day time ..
Very silent place at night ..
Did u got what I mean ??
If you a girls me suggest don’t walk here alone.. that very scary place at night ..batter you walk beside the street ..this place so quiet
