Kepong Metropolitan Park
It is easy to locate this 90-hectare park in Kepong, just look for the kite-filled skies on weekends! Kepong Metropolitan Park opened in 1991 and recent kiting activities have spurred a renaissance of sorts. There has been tremendous improvement in its facilities, including road signs which warn 500m ahead to avoid traffic jams and etc. The carnival-like atmosphere on the weekends is made complete with food, kites and toys stalls all peddling their wares on curb-side stalls near the entrance.
- Jalan Kepong, Taman Kepong
- From the Batu Caves roundabout, head to Kepong and go straight. Look out for signboards with Taman Metropolitan and kites about 500m before the Park on your left-hand side.
