Beautiful, great place to exercise and relax late afternoon / early evening or weekends. Do note the 7:00 PM closing time. In need of renovation and restoration, but that is already under way.

It's park around the pond. It's calm and nice place to relax by taking a walk.

Merdeka is a beautiful park that is well maintained and it has a nice river. There are sufficient parking spaces outside the park. The pavilion was large and clean as well. The park is suitable for morning jogging and strolling. The place could be too hot in the afternoon. Overall the place was great.

You can have your exercise here. Many people do morning run and brisk walk. A good place to bring your family in the morning or afternoon. Playground area looks interesting, especially if you have kids. There are some vending machine for drinks (if you dont bring your own) or you can have meals and drinks at richiamo cafe. There are some electric scooter at some spot but dont try it yet.
