Located next to Tugu Negara, the forest trails are in serene environment with more than 5,000 indigenous trees. About 40 acres consisting of approximately 5km of forest trails within this park is open daily to public from 7am – 6.30pm and admission is free of charge. Taman Tugu offers a cooling hiking spot in the heart of KL.





Once the site of government homes and then an unofficial landfill, Tapak Taman Tugu was saved from commercial developers for any housing or commercial projects. Instead, it was converted to a 66-acre public park and conservation site with almost 5 kilometres of trails.

By partnering with the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), over a thousand trees in Taman Tugu have been marked for preservation. More trees, including indigenous species, are being planted on-site within nurseries to eventually be moved into the main forest area.





This park is so clean that it’s hard to believe that not long ago it was a dumping ground and over 150 truckloads of trash have been cleared away from this site since its conversion. With its well-marked trails and low difficulty that even children can enjoy, this is a favourite spot for many Malaysians to enjoy nature.

The last entry is at 5.45pm – this applies to the carpark, the nursery, and the trails. Strictly no entry is allowed thereafter. Anyone who has entered the park prior must exit by 6.30pm at the latest.

The Taman Tugu Project is a not-for-profit corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) initiative led by Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”) with the support of various public sector agencies and civil-society organisations.

The scope and costing of the project have been through many iterations based on feedback from key stakeholders, engagement with the public sector as well as budget availability.
