Ample parking in-front. Spacious and ample space for exercise. Good place for family time with kids. Playground are available for kids. However it is undergoing renovations.

Unfortunately there is a lot of mosquitoes ,at the entrance to the park, other than that it was a relaxing walk in the park. Park surroundings and Toilets are clean.

My favourite park for jogging because of its terrain and many different bridges and paths to provide multiple possibilities for short and long distances to cover depending on the need.

Currently undergoing upgrading. All the playground and water play cannot use. Lots of mosquitoes. Better bring insect repellent. Overall, quiet place to walk. There is an orchid garden in the middle of the mini forest.

A Green Oasis in the Heart of JB It's also known as Hutan Bandar - a fantastic urban park and definitely a must-visit spot in Johor Bahru. This place is well-built and clean, with a really peaceful atmosphere that's perfect for a bit of inner healing and relaxation. What really stands out is the range of facilities available. There are so many things to do, whether you're into rock climbing, skateboarding, parkour, or just a simple walk. The walking pathways are clean and accessible, making it easy to explore the entire park. It's a really large area so you never feel crowded, even on weekends. It's a great place for family activities, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. I really hope the City Council continues to maintain this wonderful park for many years to come so that both locals and visitors can continue to enjoy it.
