KUALA LUMPUR – Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will extend operating hours for 10 public parks, allowing residents to enjoy recreational activities from 5.30 am until 10 pm.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh said the parks included in the extension are Perdana Botanical Gardens, Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kepong Metropolitan Park, Permaisuri Lake Gardens, Bukit Jalil Park, Menjalara Lake Gardens, Pudu Ulu Park, Alam Damai Recreational Park, Ampang Hilir Lake Gardens, and Danau Kota Lake Gardens.
“The operating hours for Perdana Botanical Gardens and Titiwangsa Lake Gardens will also be extended until midnight every Friday and Saturday to allow the public to enjoy recreational activities at night,” she said in a statement today, as quoted by Bernama.
Hannah noted that the revised schedule considers community usage patterns, particularly among working individuals, senior citizens, and those who prefer early-morning exercise in a cooler, less crowded setting.
She added that factors such as park cleanliness, lighting, maintenance of public toilets, security, and coordination of field personnel have been taken into account to ensure public facilities remain safe and comfortable.
“In increasingly fast-paced and challenging urban life, green spaces and public parks play an important role in the physical and mental well-being of society,” she said.
Hannah further highlighted that similar early opening hours will be implemented in several parks, promenades, and public fields managed by Putrajaya Corporation and Labuan Corporation, including Persiaran Perdana Promenade in Precinct 2, the Public Field in Precinct 9 in Putrajaya, Labuan Square Public Field, and Labuan Botanical Garden. – May 9, 2026
