Being
the
first
recreational
lake
gardens
in
the
city
of
Petaling
Jaya,
Taman
Jaya
Park
has
crowd
of
visitors
everyday
who
flock
in
to
spend
a
few
hours
jogging
or
exercising
or
to
simply
catch
up
with
friends
or
sit
back
and
have
a
good
time.
The
plants
and
lawn
is
well
kept
but
unfortunately
the
large
pond
which
is
the
central
feature
of
the
park,
smells
bad
;
often
you
will
see
dead
fish
floating
and
rotting.
It
is
however
popular
with
anglers
and
I
think
the
common
type
of
fish
that
they
manage
to
hook
is
the
Ikan
Sepat.
The
park
has
recently
upgraded;
new
plants
especially
a
bamboo
grove
has
been
planted.
The
walking
path
has
been
widened
and
repaired
especially
some
sections
beside
the
pond
which
had
collapsed.
There
is
also
a
nice
winding
cycling
paved
path
for
those
who
want
to
practise
their
cycling.
A
large
concrete
stage
has
been
built
jutting
into
the
pond
-
this
is
popular
especially
early
in
the
morning
for
those
who
practice
Chi
Gong
and
Yoga.
The
children's
playground
is
well
maintained
and
all
the
equipment
is
new
and
safe.
A
nice
place
for
families
to
visit
even
with
very
young
children.
The
Park
is
ideal
for
Jog,
Run,
Zumba,
Yoga,
Workout,
Picnic,
Chill,
Kid's
playground.
It
can
be
best
place
for
health
conscious
people.
Good
for
family
picnic.
Very
enjoyable
and
easy
to
get
access
to
from
the
LRT
station.
There
are
2
entry
points
by
car
and
both
have
limited
car
parks.
Facility
for
playing
skateboard
or
rollerblade
also
provided
here.
Apart
of
that,
people
can
spend
time
by
visiting
PJ
Museum
that
located
in
this
area.
The
playgrounds
are
well
maintained.
The
area
around
the
lake
is
suitable
for
family
and
individual
seeking
a
fine
area
to
exercise.
Below

my

Taman
Jaya
Park
is
a
great
neighborhood
park
that
has
been
around
for
ages.
Very
beautiful
scenery,
its
a
big
park
that
one
can
enjoy
jogging
and
spending
time
with
the
family,
for
no
charge
at
all.
Clean
and
well-kept.
Take
a
walk/jog
around
the
lake,
or
on
Sunday
mornings,
join
in
the
community
aerobics
session
conducted
by
instructors
that
held
at
the
park
area
from
time
to
time.
The
park
also
provides
delightful
views
of
the
surrounding
greenery
and
the
Taman
Jaya
Lake,
where
fishing
is
possible
with
permit.
The
night
scenery
is
pretty
nice
especially
by
the
lakeside.
Just
that
without
security
guards
around,
I
dont
recommend
visiting
this
place
at
night
alone.
