Kepong Metropolitan Park … beautiful lake and angler’s heaven!

Getting there…

The drive to Kepong Metropolitan Park is very easy. Here are two options.

1. From city centre, you will drive via Jalan Kuching heading toward Batu Caves. All you have to do is watch out for the sign “BATU CAVES”

Just before Sungei Mas building on your right (you will see a Muslim cemetery on the right before the building). Drive up the flyover toward Batu Caves.

You will see a railway track on your right and just about 2 km , keep at you left lane upon passing TESCO Hypermarket.

Turn left at oval shape roundabout and drive for another 2 km.

You shall see the half oval shape, blue sign “ Taman Metropolitan Kepong” on your left.

2. If you are more familiar with Jalan Ipoh, then drive straight toward Batu Caves. Do not turn at any cross road before you reach Sungei Mas building on your left (there is an apartment on your right).

Take a 3 o’clock turn at the roundabout and drive toward Batu Caves.

You will see a railway track on your right and just about 2 km, keep at you left lane upon passing TESCO Hypermarket.

Turn left at oval shape roundabout and drive for another 2 km.

You shall see the half oval shape, blue sign “Taman Metropolitan Kepong” on your left.

The Kuala Lumpur kite flying centre.

Another tourist attraction in Kuala Lumpur which overlook by the authority.

Don’t be surprised to find that you have to leave your car be the road side 100 meter away from the park on Sunday.

I have to warn you not to park your card by the main road side. It is a bad idea to park along the main road as it is illegal and dangerous. You must consider the road is wide and straight road. So there are many oncoming cars driving at a high speed.

This is because the park becomes the meeting point for kite enthusiast. You will see various shape and size of the kites flying in this park.

The park authority provides a huge field that runs parallel to the main road in the park for you to use. Most barriers and trees have been removed to ensure a clearance of at least 100m for the kites to take off.

So, if you are happened to be in Kuala Lumpur and have yet to enjoy the sight of kite flying, take some time off and go for an exciting time with your friend or love ones to Kepong Metropolitan Park

My suggestion is to come early and don’t worry of not having a kite. There are quite a number of kite vendor here selling their goods to the visitor.

Is flying kite the only thing you could do in this park? Not really … This 95 hectares park is a vast area that consists of a 57 hectares lake. And the good news is fishing is allowed here!

Any technique of fishing including net casting as long as it legal to catch the fish here

Other facilities that have been built include:

~Children's playground

The best ever and very nice for your kid.

~An observation tower

~Jogging tracks ~Cycling tracks

I recommend a mountain bike as it is not a flat terrain.

~Food reflexology pathway

Lots of old folks coming here early in the morning to try out the foot path.

~Toilets

Clean and best of all, there is 3 meter wall fountain at the entrance of the toilet

~A boat house

Hmm… so far I never seen a single boat here

~Shelters

Very nice place for familiy outing and lovers…

~Car Park

Ample car park but not on Sunday

~Open space for Kites enthusiasts

~Jungle trekking trail.

I normally will visit the park during weekday for a walk with my wife and baby. However please be careful with the motorcycle travelling inside the jogging track.

They are from the nearby housing area that uses the track as their short cut to main road.

Hope you like the photos and make a point to visit this park! All photos was captured early in the morning approximately 0645 to 0700 hrs.

If you happened to sightseeing in Kuala Lumpur, I will be glad to take you to this place
